Verdict

Gordon Elliott has three entries. Hardline has won three times and though placed in two Grade 1's was beaten a long way in both before returning to winning ways in a Punchestown Listed contest. Defi Bleu won a Navan bumper in December and faces a stiff task on his hurdling debut but CARTWRIGHT, six times a winner on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott, was very impressive when scooting away with a Navan maiden and looks one to follow. Speak Easy easily beat subsequent winner Dis Donc at Navan before finding Grade 1 company beyond him on this track where his jumping went to pieces in the latter stages. Discorama and Impact Factor are going well but look to have a bit to find.
