Tell Us More makes debut for Elliott

The Mullins family association with Tell Us More remains when he contests the featured Cork Racecourse Kinsale Handicap Chase on Sunday.
Gigginstown House Stud's Scorpion gelding won three races for Willie Mullins, but here he races for the first time for Gordon Elliott following the split between champion owner and trainer.
Mullins' nephew David will ride the top weight, as he starts off in handicap company. The seven-year-old has always been a high-profile type given that he cost 290,000 pounds from the point-to-point fields at the end of 2013.
Whether he'll be able to concede weight away all round in this 50,000 euro contest is another matter, with Draycott Place a race-fit rival that comes here in winning form.
His trainer, John Ryan, is on record as saying that he expects even more from a horse that he's always held in high regard, now that his palate has been rectified.
Draycott Place won on a heavy surface at Sligo last time, but ideally wants better going. With a lot of rain forecast the predicted top of the ground terrain may change, but in any case the Ryan runner is very much respected under man of the moment Danny Mullins.
In the I.N.H. Stallion Owners European Breeders Fund Novice Hurdle there's a clash between Gigginstown's Blood Crazed Tiger and the JP McManus-owned Oathkeeper
Blood Crazed Tiger could not have been much more impressive in a two-and-a-half-mile maiden hurdle at Gowran Park recently and it will be fascinating to see if he's capable of even more over this three-mile trip.
Oathkeeper, meanwhile, still had a little to do, but he was not beaten when departing at the second-last flight at the Listowel Festival in a race that went the way of Carrig Cathal. Again the staying distance could see him in an even better light.
Elsewhere Vinnie Luck who finally had things go his way when winning at Sligo last time, could well follow up in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Rated Novice Chase.
