FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Gordon Elliott appears to hold the key to this and preference if for LEMMY CAUTION. The low-mileage grey was beaten by a pair of useful types at Wexford on Wednesday, but had previously won a maiden over this trip at Punchestown. He looks worth another chance. The selection's stablemate, Master Haku, beat two subsequent winners in a 2m maiden here last month before being well beaten over 2m4f at Killarney. He has to prove his stamina, as does Local News who was a surprise winner over 2m3f on her hurdles debut at Cork and has significantly further to travel on this occasion.
