Formscan - Gordon Elliott appears to hold all the aces and Harry Cobden's presence on board DUNSY ROCK would suggest she is the number one hope. An encouraging fourth when unconsidered on her Down Royal debut, she confirmed that promise by justifying favouritism at Fairyhouse and the minor placegetters have both won since. Her stablemate Celtic Alliance got off the mark at the first time of asking at Clonmel and is dangerous in receipt of weight. Viscountess Nelson was a pleasing second at Plumpton on her timber bow and is the main stumbling block standing in the way of the Irish raiders.
