Formscan By Stuart Howden - Gordon Elliott enjoyed a treble at Cork on Friday and his good run of form can continue with COOL NATIVE (2) in the opener at Downpatrick. The six-year-old daughter of Westerner has shown plenty of promise in maiden hurdles and sets the standard on form. Her third behind Switch From Diesel early last season, when finishing ahead of Salsinha, reads well in the context of this contest. Stuart Crawford's Ritz Plan looks the chief danger after some solid maiden efforts, while the consistent Bayonetta, runner-up on her last two starts, could prove dangerous if allowed an easy lead.
