Gordon Elliott has two chances here. RAVENHILL is a smart stayer over hurdles rated 131 and he may just have the edge over stable companion Invincible Cave, another useful performer over long distances who is only 3lb behind. The Mulcare Rover has won over hurdles around here but hasn't shown enough over fences to recommend so it's Jack Dillinger who looks the main threat to the Elliott duo. He completed a double at the backend of last year and his effort at Leopardstown on his hat-trick attempt should be ignored as he was left at the start.

Jack Dillinger (IRE) 5-1 (11-10) Veered right and slowly away, always towards rear, blundered 4th and detached before next, no extra after 2 out, behind and pulled up before last, at Leopardstown 2m 4f hcp Good - Yielding in Dec.
