The hint from Gordon Elliott that he is happy to switch MACCAS STOWAWAY to chasing must be taken on her third run for the yard. The five-year-old is out of an Old Vic mare and related to the likes of Outlander and Hidden Cyclone. Whatsinthecorner and Ri An Rian are both worth consideration and can hit the frame here.
