Gordon Elliott had five entered at the early stage and relies on the progressive Dakota Moirette, who comfortably beat stable companion Icario at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. But the same owners can take this with TOUT EST PERMIS as he's another on the upgrade judging by an all-the-way victory on heavy ground at Limerick when Bracklin Princess was behind. Stablemates Lord Justice and Zig Zag battled out a finish at Ballinrobe in September when the former came out on top by the narrowest margin, though he was receiving 7lb. Both have been running in Grade 2 company and the latter came out best on their latest starts when Prospectus, who easily beat Dakota Moirette on his debut here, was behind along with Champagne Pat.
