A very good entry for the money with Gordon Elliott saddling Tullybeg, a winner over 3m at Down Royal in May, and Papal Lodge, who completed a double when scoring there in March before disappointing at Fairyhouse. BARDENSTOWN LAD goes from strength-to-strength having won a point, a maiden hurdle and a novices' hurdle at Cartmel by 20l. He has much more to do here but looks one to follow until beaten. Punchestown maiden winner Born Patriot ran in a couple of tough handicaps in the spring but has an absence to overcome while Edison Kent is from a yard that can do no wrong. Lady Lingo has been in fine form in minor company but this is tougher.
