Gordon Elliott has won three of the five renewals of this and has six entries here. Jack Kennedy is on board Stellar Story and his mount, a winning point-to-pointer and dual bumper winner, looks the stable pick as his latest victory at Naas has worked out well. Willie Mullins has two entries with Daryl Jacob riding Largy Hill for his retained owners. However, DANCING CITY looks best of the pair having won a point and a bumper and he gets the nod in a stronger than usual maiden. Coming Up Easy looks the type to make major progress this season while Beau Walking found an extended two miles too short when odds-on for his hurdling debut at Galway.
