POORMANS HILL has improved out of sight since joining Gordon Elliott and capitalised on a lenient hurdles rating (compared to his chase mark) when scoring with ease at Fairyhouse on Saturday. Providing he has fully recovered from those exertions, it's hard to see a 4lb penalty stopping him barring accidents. Should the race come too soon, Ballymadun, Carrigeen Acebo, and Bronco Bill look the best equipped to profit.
