Formscan By Gary Carson - Gordon Elliott has won the last three runnings of this race with Gigginstown horses and connections are represented by DIAMOND TURF this time. He looked a nice prospect when winning his bumper at Navan back in January and it's no surprise to see him tackling a staying trip on his first outing over timber. First Approach looks the obvious danger coming here off the back of some solid recent form. He beat Doctor Duffy in Tipperary last month before having to settle for second behind that same rival, on much worse terms, at Cork 12 days ago. His recent run looks an advantage and he could put it up to the selection. A win for any of the others here would be a big shock.
