Gordon Elliott had nine entered at the early stage and relies on FAROUK D'ALENE, who went for a massive E260,000 after a very impressive debut victory between the flags at Belclare in March and will be expected to make a successful debut under Rules. Gavin Cromwell could have a nice prospect on his hands in Railway Hurricane, a comfortable winner at Lisronagh in November, while The Mayne Man was expected to do better when sent to Carlisle where he started favourite. Derek O'Connor's presence on board Blue Ribbon suggests he'll be ready for his debut.
