FormscanBy Michael Graham - ELEGANT DAN could be a different proposition over fences on this better ground. His one previous crack at a beginners' chase was on soft to heavy ground here in October, when he came home a remote fourth. He has been running consistently well over hurdles, though, since June with a win (at this track) and a couple of runner-up finishes obtained. He ought to relish this ground. Guttural is having his first run for Gordon Elliott. He was last seen finishing third in a beginners' chase at Tipperary when well backed. He was beaten the guts of 30 lengths there, and is entitled to improve after that first crack at the bigger obstacles.
