Gordon Elliott wastes no time in bringing SONG OF NAMIBIA (NAP) out again quickly under a penalty after a very impressive victory in a novices' hurdle at Downpatrick on Sunday. That was only his fourth start and time may tell an opening handicap mark of 108, including his penalty, looks very lenient. Buttons And Bows made a successful debut over timber in November and looked on the way back to form when staying on strongly behind Colenso at Tramore. Miss Sassie has won over hurdles and fences around here and can race from an 18lb lower mark than over the bigger obstacles while Play The Part gained the only victory of his career when scoring by 10 lengths here last summer. Monbeg Chit Chat is much better known as a chaser these days and may be warming up for Galway.
