Gordon Elliott has some excellent bumpers in his yard and SPACE CADET is amongst them. He was very green on his debut over hurdles then went to Leopardstown and gained a convincing victory, form that should be good enough for this. Winning point-to-pointer Pylonthepressure is an obvious danger after an impressive victory at Thurles while any further rain will aid the cause of Baby Rich, who scored in heavy ground at Ayr.
