High-class hurdler THE REAL ARTICLE hasn't taken to fences just yet but now the ground has become quicker he can start making up for lost time. Plan A has pulled up in strong handicaps on his two latest starts but Gordon Elliott's versatile performer is another who will relish the conditions and is expected to go close. Leihinmohr looked a smart prospect before his defeat at Down Royal and should make a chaser though it's Six Stone Ned who looks the main threat after his excellent second to Burn And Turn at Limerick. Edeymi was a fair hurdler but fell on his chasing debut at Tramore on Friday.
