Salvador Ziggy scores again for Elliott Salvador Ziggy is now two from two for Gordon Elliott after giving weight away to the field in the rated novice hurdle at Roscommon. The 5/6 favourite crept into contention in third at the second last where Dovlator had got on terms with Desert Friend. The latter made a mistake and was swallowed up on the run to the last on either side by Dovlator on the outer and Salvador Ziggy on the inner. Salvador Ziggy took a narrow lead on the run-in and was ridden home by Jack Kennedy to win by a snug length and a quarter from the 12/1 runner-up. Desert Friend dropped four and a half lengths back in third at 9/1. Kennedy said: "He did it well, he jumped well and he's a horse that will probably get further as well. “He'll jump a fence too so there is plenty of fun to be had with him. He jumps great and he's a nice horse.” Salvador Ziggy won his maiden hurdle at Punchestown in May and also took a Listowel bumper for his previous trainer James Fahey.
