FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Gordon Elliott saddles two leading hopes here, with preference for the unbeaten DOWN MEMORY LANE. Originally in the care of Jonathan Fogarty, the Walk In The Park bay impressed on his debut at Umma House in October of last year. Subsequently purchased by JP McManus, he followed up in a bumper at Fairyhouse in February, with five subsequent winners in behind. Derek O'Connor has been aboard the selection on both of his starts to date and with Mark Walsh in action at Gowran, the much-heralded amateur retains the ride. Elliott is also represented by Timmy Tuesday, with this Mahler gelding given second preference. A fine third on his racecourse debut at Cork just over a year ago, he ran out on his only other start at Punchestown. Bought for E92,000 at the Tattersalls Derby Sale, newcomer Whale Harbour is an interesting contender, while hurdling debutants Fast Felix and Rick Dalton are others of interest.
