This looks a competitive staying handicap for the time of year but Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand. He has top weight Steamboat Bill and the consistent Urtheoneiwant in the line-up. Mine Now only found one too good on his reappearance here over 2m4f. Redclue was in good form at Downpatrick in May and Fleurys Fort is on a four-timer, though didn't appear to stay when tried over 3m at Limerick in November. THAT’S MYPRESENTING wouldn't want any rain but is lightly raced and this longer trip should suit on breeding. Paul Townend's mount should give supporters a run for their money. Mr Mulliner reserves his best for Downpatrick but Misdflight and Tellthemnuttin are not out of this.
