Gordon Elliott: My thoughts on Silverlord at Dundalk on Friday

Gordon saddles just one runner at Dundalk this evening

Silverlord represent Cullentra House Stables on the all-weather at Dundalk on Friday evening, we get Gordon Elliott's views on his chances...

19:50 Dundalk - Silverlord

The handicapper has dropped him back to a workable mark of 65 following his last race, where he was only beaten 3 lengths at the finish behind Salam Alaykum at this track. He's now 1lb lower than his last winning OR of 66 so I'd be hopeful of another good run. He seems to like it around here and he acts well on what's a very fair surface. We have the very capable Sam James booked to take the ride, if he can reproduce the form he showed here at the end of last year I'd expect him to put in a good performance.
