Classical Creek might crown a phenomenally successful festive period for Gordon Elliott by landing the Grade One Ballymore Novice Hurdle in Naas on Sunday.

Elliott and his Cullentra team have registered 23 successes since Christmas and unexposed Classical Creek might be capable of giving the team a sixth win in this traditional new year feature in Naas.
