Gordon Elliott and Nina Carberry are a formidable combination and team up here with Golden Call, who landed a point at Punchestown in February. The seven-year-old will be difficult to beat but HONOURS RULE may be good enough after an encouraging victory in what looked a decent contest at Loughanmore. Anserdefone scrambled home on firm ground at Tramore but could do better on this easier going while Intentandpurposes has the not inconsiderable advantage of JT McNamara in the saddle and has some experience in this grade having finished third at Cork last month.
