5/6

Fairly useful hurdler, successful at Downpatrick (22f) in July. No show on chasing bow 47 days ago and has left Gordon Elliott but big player if recapturing best form in first-time cheekpieces here.

Form: 8-6186P

Forecasts

Soldiers Hill (5/6), Greenrock Abbey (11/10), Le Fou Royal (9/2), Pride Of Pemberley (9/2), Bunny Boru (10/1), Old Times (14/1), Glencoum Lass (20/1), Bit Of A Legend (40/1), Iconic Flight (50/1)

GREENROCK ABBEY is a £65,000 point winner starting out over hurdles for a yard with a cracking record here and it would be no surprise to see him make a successful return. Soldiers Hill made up into a fairly useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott and has a big shout if hitting the ground running for his new trainer.
