Verdict
The Gordon Elliott/Jamie Codd partnership hasn't quite got going this season but Stooshie showed enough in a couple of runs in the spring to suggest he should get into contention. ROSERIVER HAS attracted good support on his debut at Sligo and though unable to get close enough to threaten he will have come on a bundle for the experience and can make it count here. Shankill Castle was beaten a long way at Kilbeggan while Casadel Sol has looked moderate but Court Attire showed ability at Roscommon in July and will have learnt plenty from the run.
