In depth

Verdict

Gordon Elliott had five entered at the early stage and relies on Cato Capone, runner-up in a Ballynoe point in March when only two finished. Do As Your Told finished last of three at Down Royal but LECKY WATSON made his debut in a lucrative Fairyhouse bumper in which Willie Mullins saddles the first three home. He was undoubtedly unlucky in-running and looks a nice prospect though is likely to start at prohibitive odds.
