Gordon Elliott has six entries headed by Speculatrix, odds-on when landing a course and distance bumper under Harry Swan in February. Jamie Codd rides the stable's Tactical Affair though his mount is bred to be a staying chaser. Predators Gold, like Speculatrix, is owned by Gigginstown and his stable also run Milo Lises, the first foal of a mare from a very smart family. There could be some value in supporting FARLAND here. He cost €100,000 and is a half-brother to the useful Minella Cocooner out of a winning bumper and has the assistance of Derek O'Connor.
