FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Killultagh Bella could be a big factor here if making the line-up from her position as first reserve. She’s equipped with a hood now after not coming up to market expectations on her debut in a Punchestown bumper in January. Gordon Elliott is two-handed with Elite Trooper Grey and Call Me Lyreen, but it’s ARAKAN QUEST that gets the nod ahead of the likes of Fairytale Bliss, Seamus Darby, Eric Carmen and Sani Pass. The 116-rated Arakan Quest has his second outing here for Wexford handler Yvonne Latta. From his position as the market-leader the selection was disappointing at Bellewstown when a well-beaten third on August 25th. With that effort under his belt the grey might fare out better on this livelier surface. Richie Deegan’s presence up top with his five pound claim is no harm either.
