Verdict

Gordon Elliott saddles 4 with viable claims, with BY YOUR SIDE just about the pick of them having made up a lot of ground in a slowly-run race when second to Rock On Seamie at Downpatrick. Set Point has to be feared in his hat-trick bid, while My Gaffer's ceiling hasn't been reached, so he completes the shortlist.
