Verdict
Gordon Elliott has two entries in this very moderate maiden with Breffni Brave absent since July but DAISY DUFRESNE showing potential in better maidens at Navan and Naas and should be good enough for this. Allbetsoff probably needs further unless the ground turns testing but Monrocher hasn't performed badly in bumpers and is bred for jumping. Not So Proper has a smart pedigree for this sort of trip and might show some improvement on quicker ground than he's faced so far. Vintage Writer may prove best of the remainder.
