FormscanBy Gary Carson - ELITE DES MOTTES looks capable of winning another one off this mark. She scored at Killarney on her penultimate outing and followed that up with a solid effort to finish third at Wexford off this revised rating. The Network mare made up plenty of ground from the rear that day in very testing conditions and it was a good run in the circumstances. Dympnas Well has won three of her last five races and has to be respected despite an 11lb hike for her cosy win at Wexford last time. Dropping back in trip shouldn't be an issue for her. Powerful Out was no match for Family Business in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time but it was another decent effort and she should be competitive here off her mark of 103.
