FormscanBy Gary Carson - ELLIOTT has been knocking on the door and a slight step up in trip here may suit. The Dandy Man gelding kept on well in the closing stages when fourth to dead-heaters Hero Of The Hour and Reinforce at Down Royal last time and looks capable of landing one of these off his current mark. Hero Of The Hour got a 10lb hike for that victory last time and looks to have more on his plate now. Grand Citadel should appreciate dropping back in trip, having run freely when fourth over a mile at Killarney last time, and could be a big player now.
