BEIDH TINE ANSEO has taken a while to discover the winning thread but he has really blossomed in the spring and can make it four from four here, with Riverscape a danger and both What A Riddle and Wind Shuffle likely to go well. Trip and ground are ideal for the Lucinda Russell-trained gelding, who receives weight from two of his chief rivals and looks capable of giving weight to his remaining opponents. Riverscape was the easy winner of a Down Royal mares' contest last time on firm ground. Conditions here will suit and Gordon Elliott has such a good record that his five-year-old is feared. What A Riddle won a fast ground maiden hurdle here over 2m 5f at the May meeting but was comfortably accounted for last time back over this sort of trip and may not quite have the speed. The seven-year-old Wind Shuffle also scored at the May meeting and likes it here, though he may find the ground a bit too quck and Beidh Tine Anseo is preferred.
