Ask Heather was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Fairyhouse though a conditional takes 5lb off her back for this. She finished in front of The Grey Guy at Punchestown before that and the latter had won over a shorter trip here at the end of last year. GOODTHYNEMILAN beat Queen Khaleesi over hurdles at Thurles last month and went in again over fences at the same track recently. He can race off a lower mark back over the smaller obstacles today and looks another with strong claims for the Gordon Elliott yard.
