Gordon Elliott saddles three of the eight runners. The four-year-old Authorizo was very highly tried after making a successful debut for the yard at Fairyhouse but hasn't run well the last twice while Kuraka hasn't run since well beaten at Gowran in November. Road To Dubai could prove the stable pick as he ran very well behind Fast Buck in a Listed contest at Galway last week. KILLINEY COURT has been here three times and won them all. His latest defeat was over fences and back over timber can remain unbeaten on the track. The King Of Brega was in cracking form last winter winning three times and was having his first start since March when well beaten at Kilbeggan in June.
