FormscanBy Alan Magee - Gordon Elliott had four entries for this race and it’s interesting that he relies on COEUR DE BEAUCHENE. Connections were obviously impressed by his debut second in a Kirkistown point-to-point last November as they shelved out 115,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sale the following month. Gigginstown are also represented by Laverteen who went off favourite when second to Thebarrowman on debut here just over 12 months ago. He couldn’t find any extra from over a furlong out subsequently at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting but is likely to have strengthened up with a summer of grass under his belt. Balkalin showed promise when third to Mossback at Limerick last year, and may have needed the run when third to Monbeg Worldwide in a winners’ event at Naas last Sunday. Point-to-point winner Stowaway Forever may have been flattered to finish less than five lengths off Cheltenham favourite Carter Mckay in a slowly run affair at Naas last month.
