Gordon Elliot has won three of the last four and Duca De Thaix, a Group 3-winning hurdler, made an encouraging start over fences at Punchestown behind Kildorrery with My Manekineko well beaten. He had beaten today's rival Us An Them over timber at Limerick and his chasing experience can see him confirm the form with Joseph O'Brien's charge. The latter yard also run Treasure Chest, who was beaten a long way behind Cap D'Aubois on his chasing bow at Killarney. Timi Roli won over timber at Wexford in June and makes his chasing debut but the form pick is MIND'S EYE, who couldn't hold off Voix Du Reve over 2m2f at Galway but had the remainder in another parish and will have come on markedly for the experience.
