FormscanBy Gary Carson - ASHTON COURT looks interesting on his first outing for Gordon Elliott. The Court Cave gelding was picked up for just 5,500 gns at the sales in December. He has some decent placed form going back to his time with Shark Hanlon and Elliott has a great record when picking up similar types from England in the past. Splashing Out has been knocking on the door in maiden hurdles and looks a danger. She weakened late on over a couple of furlongs further at Fairyhouse last time so dropping back to the minimum trip could help now. She had run really well to chase home Marelly at Limerick prior to that. Sixhandsinmypocket was beaten favourite when tried in handicap company before but may appreciate a bit nicer ground now and ran a solid race when fifth in a maiden hurdle last time.
