Gordon Elliott saddles Anytime Now, who looked a likely future winner after good runs at Perth and Downpatrick but fluffed his lines at Kilbeggan, and MONITION and it's the latter who gets the vote. His best performance came on heavy ground at Punchestown in January but there's no reason to believe he won't act on today's surface and the opposition looks moderate. Stubborn Logic looks a threat as he was showing his first sign of ability when staying on over 2m4f at Clonmel and Rachael Blackmore again takes the ride. Licklighter makes a very quick reappearance after finishing second to the very promising My Sister Sarah at Punchestown on Tuesday though he was well beaten and Yeats Mardy has had plenty of chances.
