FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GUTTURAL may prove best of the Gigginstown pair here and could take this on his second start over flights. Joseph O’Brien’s Gold Well gelding is less-exposed than several of these and kept at it well when runner-up to Poker D’ainay recently at Wexford. The winner is now rated 114 and that gives the selection strong claims, although this slight drop in trip might not be ideal. Gordon Elliott runs three, of which Empire Burleque might be best. He lacks a recent run,but was placed off 105 in handicap company at Punchestown in January. Three Is Company managed second in a Lismore point-to-point in March and should be sharper for a recent bumper outing, while dual flat winner Wooster was a good second at Kilbeggan early last month but fared less well in a course-and-distance handicap when last seen. Construct ( low 80s on the level ) could be a nice jumping prospect but might improve for the experience.
