FormscanBy Stuart Howden - Gordon Elliott has won seven of the last eight renewals of this contest, and the smart hurdler FIREFOX makes the most appeal of the yard's three runners this time. The six-year-old finished runner-up in the Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown in April and is the one to beat if transferring that level of form to the larger obstacles. Stablemate Big Stage could also go well, although Mossy Fen Park may prove a bigger threat on his chasing bow.

Quotes on Firefox (IRE)
He’s a good horse and Jack said he’s so straightforward,. We thought he needed two and a half miles and that’s why we were making every post a winning post. Jack said he could go two and a half but he’s got so much boot and is so relaxed that everything is very easy to him. He looks exciting and you’d like his attitude. We wanted to get today out of the way first and I just loved the way he jumped. Jack said he was so professional over the last two.

Quotes on Gringo D'aubrelle (FR)
He’s a nice horse but probably wants two and a half miles. I loved the way he put his head out. Davy (Russell) said when he was on his own he was very idle. He galloped all the way up the straight. The second horse is a nice horse and we had the experience of a run over hurdles and race fitness on our side. We’ll look at Christmas or Naas. I’ll have a word with Noel (Moran, owner) and see what we do. The further he goes the better he’ll be.
