Mount Benbulben can scale the heights for Elliott

YOU would have to love what Mount Benbulben did in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Navan last Sunday.

This was far in advance of what he had managed in his only two outings over flights prior to that and, I think, we can be fairly confident that here is a horse worth following for the rest of the season.

Gordon Elliott’s charge pulled like a train first time up over jumps at Galway, fighting Paul Carberry throughout.
