Ellaat has completed a track and trip double in the last few weeks and though 8lb higher had plenty in hand last time and should reach a place. Fassbender was having his 19th start over timber when scoring at Downpatrick but he'd been threatening to win for some time and should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise. LAKE CHAD was an impressive winner on just his second start in over two years at Limerick on Tuesday and a 5lb penalty shouldn't deny him a quick double. The Declaimer looked suited by stepping up to 2m4f at Kilbeggan though had been placed over this trip at Wexford earlier.
