SPECULATEUR belatedly opened his hurdles account at Sligo back in the spring and appealing as one who will excel over the larger obstacles now upped to 3m, Gordon Elliott's 5-y-o gets the verdict on return. Some Song represents the in-form Henry de Bromhead yard, and he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Caher Roes Den rounding off the shortlist.
