Pat's Oscar is not one of Gordon Elliott's leading lights but was an easy winner on his penultimate start before disappointing last time in a major way. He has obvious claims if reproducing the level of her impressive success here in February. However, GOAHEADMAKEMYDAY appeals as a more consistent performer and also holds a verdict over the top weight when the pair came home first and third at Punchestown in January. There should be little between them here but the Foley charge is taken to confirm placings. Askann remains open to progress on this handicap bow after just the three hurdling starts to date while Sunset Sadie has shown improved form on her last three starts and should be in the mix on that evidence.
