The Flat jockeys look to have come up trumps in the draw as Gordon Elliott and Johnnie Murtagh look an irresistible combination with GOAL. The winner of eight of his 56 races, he's been successful on Polytrack since scoring at Musselburgh last month and wasn't beaten far at Dundalk on Friday. Charles Byrnes and Kieren Fallon look another pair to get involved with and Mahrajaan, who has run twice over hurdles since a narrow defeat on the level at Gowran, looks a big threat. Patrick Mullins, one of three amateurs in the race, should get a tune out of Fairylike, whose moderate effort at Navan last week was a rare departure from her normal consistency, while AP McCoy's mount If Per Chance has won from higher marks than this in the past.
