Dowhatisay wasn't punished at Navan and the longer trip will be in his favour so he looks best of those with experience. Gordon Elliott is off the mark with his juveniles and the booking of Pat Smullen for MONKEYLOU, a half-brother to six winners, catches the eye and he's handed the vote. Dream Of Words looks best of Jim Bolger's pair being out of a 7f winner.
