LONESOME BOATMAN was better than the result back from a break at Listowel last month and should be spot on with that behind him. Gordon Elliott is no stranger to success in this race and his Fortunedefortunata is second choice ahead of recent hurdle winner Big Debates. Smallcraftwarning can also go well assuming his recent busy spell doesn't catch up with him.
