Beach bids for follow up at Cork Gordon Elliott goes in search of more prize-money at Cork on Sunday where one of his high achievers Mala Beach strives for Grade Three glory in the featured Imperial Call Chase. Mala Beach has contributed his share towards Elliott's haul this season, having already won the Troytown Chase in November. He was also a winner at Down Royal on March 19, when easily landing another 20,000 euro pot. Mala Beach faces four rivals and while Val De Ferbet won last year's renewal, he has plenty to find with the Elliott runner, being 2lb worse off for a 23-length beating in that recent Down Royal race. Elliott and great rival Willie Mullins are well represented on the rest of the card. The former has solid claims in the opening Dermot Casey Tree Care Maiden Hurdle with Park Paddocks, who finished second at Wexford on his latest hurdles outing. Half an hour later, Mullins' Bang Bang Rosie herself bids to improve one placing on her own runner-up effort in maiden company in the O´Flynn Motors Mallow (Mares) Maiden Hurdle. Mullins sends out three runners - Didero Vallis, Steel Wave and Lareena - to Elliott's one (High Expectations) in the most valuable event at the meeting, the FBD Insurance Handicap Hurdle.
