Liz Doyle looks to have a nice staying prospect in Envoi Pierji, runner-up in a point before producing two very good runs over timber. He'll likely do better over further in time and MOUNTAINMORE could just have his measure this time. Willie Mullins' mare has improved with every run and showed her liking for testing ground when narrowly beaten at Roscommon last month. Hesamanofhisword couldn't get close to Raya Time at Clonmel but it was still an improved effort though Hereditary Rule looks much more of a threat. Gordon Elliott's charge won a point at Edgcote in May by 12 lengths and will have found the minimum trip much too short on his hurdling debut at Roscommon last month.
