Nina Carberry and Gordon Elliott are such a powerful partnership in these events that Court Lexi is certain to come in for support on her debut though she was a very cheap purchase. Ballymoe Boy should improve for his run in a huge field at Punchestown but this could go to DEVIL'S ELBOW. Ted Walsh's charge has been well beaten in both starts to date but they were in much better class events at the Curragh and Punchestown and this race won't be run at anything like the same pace.
