FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - At the time of writing the last five horses to have run for the Gordon Elliott yard were winners, those all coming between Downpatrick and Killarney on Wednesday. With nothing jumping out as being overly solid here, the safest choice could be to row in behind Elliott’s ROBIN DEUZ POIS. Sean O’Keeffe rode a winner for the yard when The Very Man scored at Roscommon on Monday and the young Wexford man is arguably one of the better pilots in this line-up. His mount returns to fences having run behind stable companion Tiger Twenty Two over hurdles at Bellewstown last time. She could do with perhaps brushing up on her jumping, but she’s only ever once failed to complete the course and the daughter of Robin Des Champs is very likely to be in there pitching at the business end. Top Of The Charts heads the list of dangers.
