HAMMERSTEIN for trainer, Gordon Elliott has been given plenty of time since bursting blood vessels in September. The potentially exciting hurdler can get off the mark here at the expense of the Denis Hogan trained and ridden, Marine One on hurdling debut. Definite Dilema and Big King could improve enough to hit the frame.
