Allardyce has been placed in his last nine starts though he's been beaten quite a long way in recent runs and may have to settle for a minor berth again as LAST MINUTE MAN will take some beating. Gordon Elliott's charge won a bumper in January of last year and didn't reappear until last month when just failing to catch Antey at Cork. He should have few problems going one better as winning bumper Itsonlyrocknroll has so far failed to get his act together over obstacles and Simon's Castle was beaten a long way into third here last month.
