Gordon Elliott has declared yesterday's winner PAT'S OSCAR and Munstead Pride. The champion jockey has deserted Munstead Pride in favour of PAT'S OSCAR who is proven on the surface and will take all the beating if none the worse for her exertions. Cruachan arrives with a similar preparation as when third in this 12 months ago and he acts on heavy ground. Lucinda Russell saddles a pair of young horses, Vertigo and Ceegem, with jockey bookings indicating the former may be the pick. Both would be interesting given any support in the ring.
