Gordon Elliott saddles three debutants, but the one who makes most appeal on paper is SPRINGHILL WARRIOR given he's bred to make a useful jumper, so he earns the vote before market clues. Postiive Energy, a winner on his final Flat outing in 2024, is another worthy of consideration, wih Bursinel perhaps the pick of those with hurdling experience.
