There was little between Stradbally and Dul Ar An Ol when they finished second and third respectively at Cork last month. El Mondo was well beaten in the same race and the former pair can figure again. TONER D'OUDAIRIES is making hard work of landing his first win over fences. He failed when starting odds-on at Thurles last time but only by a half a length and Gordon Elliott's charge is taken to make amends in this. Paddy The Stout has something to find with the selection on collateral form with Rupert Lamb but should still get involved with a repeat of his latest third at Navan.
