GORDON ELLIOTT will be the busiest trainer in the country over the Christmas period but has just one runner in Dundalk on Friday, Zanjabeel in the 12f maiden.
Beaten a neck here last week by Song Of Love in a handicap, he may find this company a bit more congenial. He had re-opposing Wrap Start 2 ½ lengths behind him in fifth spot but was conceding 11 lb that night and here gets 5 lb.
Zanjabeel and Billy Lee might find Sitting Bull and Train Time their most dangerous opponents.
