Storm Rising is penalised for victories on the Flat back in 2015. Ilikedwayurthinkin showed the benefit of his opening run with a much better effort at Limerick though looked as though a longer trip would suit. Waterville Dancer was heavily supported on his second start over timber at Cork a month ago but never really looked like winning and was beaten a long way so this can go to Gordon Elliott again via CREZIC. Narrowly beaten at Naas in February, he might have won at Limerick a few weeks later but for falling at the last and he didn't quite last out an extra quarter-mile on his latest start at Ballinrobe.
