Summary:Model Athlete will be ridden by Paul Carberry, fresh from his fruitful trip to Perth this week. And the combination of the former champion and trainer Gordon Elliott, formidable at the Scottish venue, might strike again with RECOVERY MAN in the Meath Cleaning Services Maiden Hurdle at Navan tomorrow.
