Gordon Elliott, who saddled his first runner since serving a six-month ban at Punchestown yesterday, looks set for a good day in Sligo, where he’ll have his first National Hunt runners on an all-chase card.

The Sliding Rock, in the opening mares beginners chase, and Fancy Foundations, in the Templehouse Lake Chase might prove his best prospects.
