Elliott hoping for better from Delta in Savills Chase Gordon Elliott is hoping for a much better showing from Delta Work when he lines up in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown on Saturday week. The Gigginstown gelding proved one of the top novices last season when registering three Grade 1 victories. He was below par on his return in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal early last month, however, when finishing fourth behind Road To Respect. Elliott has revealed that he returned home lame after that run and expects him to leave it well behind. “He worked at Naas on Wednesday morning and the plan is to go for the Savills Chase. “He's better than he showed at Down Royal. He came home lame after it, we have him back sound now and he's working well so we're looking forward to running him.” Elliott plans to have plenty of runners over the festive period and outlined plans for some of his other stars:- “Battleoverdoyen will go for the three-mile, Abacadabras will run in the two-mile novice while Samcro will probably go to Limerick for the two-mile-three novice chase. “Coeur Sublime will run in the Grade 1 (December Hurdle). It was the plan to go straight to Leopardstown. He's in good form and worked well on Wednesday morning at Naas, we're looking forward to running him."
