If LORD ERSKINE is still in the frame of mind that saw him take two handicap hurdles at Sligo and Tipperary when last seen in May, the hat-trick seeking gelding could take all the catching here in this competitive contest. Any chinks in the armour of the selection could be taken advantage of by the improving Cheap And Cheerful, the Willie Mullins-trained Pleasure Dome and Freewheelin Dylan who will be doing all his best work at the business end of the race.
