Gordon Elliott has won two of the last three and despite a huge field Liberty Dance is likely to be a warm order on her handicap debut after an impressive Listed success at Thurles in December. She finished behind Rioga Choice at Down Royal in November but appears to have made the greater progress. RISK BELLE, unbeaten in two starts in France, has shown plenty of potential in Grade 3 and 2 company behind classy stable companion Lossiemouth and Willie Mullins wouldn't be running a four-year-old in this company unless believing she's well handicapped. Tramore maiden winner Gaoth Chuil didn't get the clearest of runs here in December while Innatendue, runner-up in a Grade 2 at Punchestown in April, looks on a fair mark for her handicap bow. De Lady In Red was in touch when falling in this a year ago and though unraced subsequently goes well fresh.
