Formscan By Gary Carson - Gordon Elliott has dominated this race in recent years and UNCLE PAD (6) may be able to give him another success. The Vadamos gelding makes his first start for the yard now having been snapped up by Gigginstown for 310,000stg following his impressive point-to-point win at Ballyvodock last February. Bravemans Call comes here off the back of two good placed efforts in bumpers and is entitled to be a big player. He lost out by just half-a-length at Listowel last time. The Dermot McLoughlin-trained newcomer Malpaso is worth noting in the market. His dam, Dixie Lee, won three times at this venue.
