Gordon Elliott the man to follow at Cork Gigginstown and Gordon Elliott have teamed up for a number of impressive winners in recent weeks, and they hold strong claims in both the Graded races at Cork on Sunday. Point-to-point winner Altiepix, who opened his account over hurdles at Downpatrick and just failed to follow up in better company at Galway earlier this week, faces only four rivals in the Paddy Power Acca Insurance EBF Novice Hurdle. The French-bred five-year-old probably has most to fear from Goonyella, who is best known as a really decent staying handicap chaser. The Jim Dreaper-trained gelding won the Betfred Midlands National in March and went down by less than a length to Wayward Prince in the Scottish equivalent at Ayr a month later. Gigginstown appear to hold all the aces in the four-runner Paddy Power Paddys Numbers Win A Million EBF Novice Chase. Elliott saddles Lord Scoundrel, who goes in search of a hat-trick, having recorded convincing wins in the past few weeks at Limerick and Galway. Mouse Morris sends out the other Gigginstown representative in the shape of Horendus Hulabaloo, who had just weakened when falling two out in the Guinness Kerry National, won by stable companion Rogue Angel. Mick Winters likes nothing better than a winner at his local track, and Perfect Woman may complete a hat-trick in the Paddy Power Buttevant Shop Handicap Hurdle. Mark Walsh's mount comes here in good form, having won a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and a mares' beginners chase at Sligo.
