FormscanBy Michael Graham - VINA ARDANZA could be a useful recruit for Gordon Elliott. This Califet gelding stayed on nicely to land a bumper at Ayr in April for Stuart Crawford and has now switched to Elliott. A couple of subsequent winners have come out of that bumper. Good ground will hold no fears for him. Silas Marner has been placed in a couple of bumpers when beaten by useful sorts. He can have a say on hurdling debut. In-form Bryan Cooper comes in for the ride. Call Me Rocky has run five times over hurdles and didn't perform badly when fourth in a massive field at Cork. Better ground could elicit some improvement. Highlander Casseul was placed at 125/1 in Limerick and won't be anywhere near that price for this race.
