Annamix defied mistakes to beat Raya Time over 2m at Clonmel and should be better over this longer trip. BATTLE OF MIDWAY scored over 2m3f on testing ground at Galway and travelled well throughout when tackling 3m at Cork but didn't find much at the business end. This looks his trip and he can get back to winning ways. Camden Village looked a very nice staying prospect when scoring over 3m at Cork in April and along with stable companion Definite Plan, who made an impressive debut under Rules over 2m3f at Downpatrick, give Gordon Elliott a formidable hand. Fortune Street easily landed a Wexford bumper but could have been found an easier opportunity for his hurdling debut.
