Lord Erskine won over 1m4f at Roscommon but the step up in trip won’t be a problem. Recent Leopardstown winner Gibraltar makes most appeal of Willie Mullins’ trio but has been raised 8lb. SHEISHYBRID was behind Stellium at the Curragh in May but is better off at the weights and arrives here off the back of a couple of good runs over hurdles at Cork. She is probably on a decent mark back on the Flat and a first try over 2m on the level shouldn’t be a problem.
