Pairofbrowneyes was much improved on his first start for Willie Mullins and remains unexposed in this sphere. He'll be popular. Thyestes winner Monbeg Notorious, perennial contender Squouateur and Woods Well may head the Elliott charge for a win in this race and a big boost in the trainers' race but his rival could strike with BELLSHILL. He's a Grade 1 performer over hurdles and has some smart form chasing, including when winning the Bobbyjo here. There could be plenty more in him, and he's the class act potentially. At bigger prices, C&D winner Forever Gold and Oscar Knight are notables.
