PARANOID surely has more to come for new trainer Gordon Elliott and can add to his Galway handicap hurdle success now reverting to fences. Couer Joyeux took a step back in the right direction at Punchestown last time and has handicapping scope if able to build on that, while Askann will be suited by the return to 3m and is also respected on the back of a creditable reappearance.
