FACE THE FACTS, a dual winner for John Gosden in 2017, was having his first start since that year and making his debut over timber for Willie Mullins when just failing to land the odds at Naas last month. He'll appreciate the slightly longer trip and can go one better. Moratorium, one of four Gordon Elliott entries, looked suited by softer ground at Tramore so some rain would aid his cause while Discordantly ran very well over the minimum at Cork and this is much more likely to be his trip. The latter holds Emily Moon on that run but winning point-to-pointer Diol Ker stepped up markedly on his debut effort when a close third over this trip at Leopardstown and there's more to come.
