Race preview
Gordon Elliott has a strong hand in this and TIMELESS TREATY appeals most. One of his three hurdle wins was on good ground on this card a year ago, and the Harzand gelding comes here on the back of a creditable run in a competitive handicap at Fairyhouse. Stablemate He Can't Dance was rewarded for his consistency when easily winning a maiden at Limerick and he might be capable of further improvement. Kevin's Pride also comes into calculations.
