The yard of Gordon Elliott are three from 14 with their maiden hurdlers at this meeting in the last four years and can add to that tally with ERRATIC PATH, the mount of Davy Russell. The Elusive Pimpernel gelding can improve on his maiden hurdle run at Roscommon earlier this month and hold off the attentions of Monstrosity who ran well in defeat in a competitive Fairyhouse contest last month. In a weak renewal Big Ego and Dedanann look the best of a pretty ordinary bunch.
