FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - No less than four last time out winners clash here, two of which scored over the course and distance a week back. One of the track and trips victors, ELEGANT DAN, is the choice. Well-named, the big chestnut got a six pound rise for beating Pat Coyne (in opposition again) by a length. The selection is inclined to race with his head high. However, with a win now under his belt he’s likely to keep learning with experience. He’s taken to confirm form with Pat Coyne on four pound worse terms. Knock On Steel definitely has a chance here off 104 after winning a Killarney beginners chase last time. Given his connections Soloheadbeg will justifiably attract some attention for his handicap debut with first time cheek-pieces on.
