The hat-trick seeking DIFFICULT DECISION may be the answer here in a interesting contest at the County Meath track. Although being 18lb higher than when starting his winning spree at Clonmel in January, he seems at the top of his game and if showing just a little more improvement may have enough to land this contest. Ellipsism needs to bounce back from a below par run last time out but had previously shown form good enough to win another handicap despite rising in the weights. Beating The Odds is slowly improving with every race and if progressing again he could go well off a very light weight.
