ON the back of recent storms Isha and Jocelyn, racegoers were warmed by the sight of the Gordon Elliott-handled Battleoverdoyen, (5/2 - 3/1) who fenced with gusto to make a winning return to point-to-points in the open.

Originally under the care of Gerry Cosgrave, Battleoverdoyen started his career winning a competitive four-year-old maiden in 2017 before going on to win a pair of Grade 1 contests for Gordon Elliot and Gigginstown House Stud.
