JUST as he did 12 months ago, Gordon Elliott pulled a winner from left field in the €50,000 TRI Equestrian Handicap Chase as the out-of-form Gun Digger recovered to give jockey Gavin Brouder his biggest success to date.

Twelve months ago Elliott landed this prize with the 14/1 shot Woods Well, and the Gigginstown House Stud-owned Gun Digger (7/1) lined up having pulled up in five of his last seven runs. However, a bold ride from Brouder brought out the best in this gelding whose last victory came in a beginners’ chase at this track in December 2018.
