Trainer Gordon Elliott immediately switches stable newcomer CALIPTION back to hurdles following a 10L defeat on stable debut over fences at Downpatrick last month. The six-year-old may only have the relatively inconsistent Border Control to beat here while the Peter Fahey-trained Court Tycoon and Andrew Slattery's Cooldine Bog are open to improve on their most recent starts and battle it out for the remaining place.
