After his treble yesterday, Gordon Elliott looks set for another good afternoon at Down Royal where the Cullentra handler has the favourite in four of the seven races.
Elliott has withdrawn Glorious Zoff (change in going) from the valuable handicap hurdle at 2.15 but still has a strong hand with Magic Tricks and Eskylane
The latter was fourth on his seasonal reappearance at Listowel and has been backed from 11/2 into 3/1.
Davy Russell's mount is disputing favouritism with Charles Byrnes' Light Brigade to whom he must concede a stone.
The markets for the big chases are fairly static with Minella Indo a general 11/10 chance for the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at 2.50 while Envoi Allen has hardened fractionally from 1/3 into 3/10 for the Join Racing TV Chase 35 minutes later.
