Riders Onthe Storm made a reasonable start at Naas but comes up against some interesting newcomers. Stooshie looks best of Gordon Elliott's pair with Jamie Codd on board though he's bred to be a stayer unlike Early Doors. Joseph O'Brien's charge is a half-brother to three winners on the Flat and out of a 6f winner so he should have plenty of pace as should Frank Wilde, a half-brother to a winning miler. OFFICERS MESS is related to several winners on the Flat and over hurdles including some useful performers so he's handed the vote in a tricky contest.
