MOMUS gets the nod in the opener. One of a quintet in the Gigginstown silks, he confirmed the promise of his Roscommon bumper win when finishing third at Galway on his reappearance last month. The winner has landed a Grade 3 and the fourth has struck in handicap company subsequently, lending the form a decent complexion. Defi Bleu was also promising on reappearance at Down Royal and rates the most likely of the Elliott trio while Curious Times, Denwork and Mister Fogpatches merit a look in the betting.
