Trainer Gordon Elliott and young Dunshaughlin jockey Keith Donoghue enjoyed a double at Perth last night.

They could also be worth following again today.

Last night, Shopfrontspecialist won a two-mile handicap hurdle and was well supported on the track before it was sent off at 4/6 favourite.

Elliott and Donoghue were also fancied to win the three-mile hurdle with Supercede which duly obliged at odds of 9/4

The duo took the runner-up position in the opening race with Symphonica.

Elliott will run Apt To Run, formerly trained by Ed Dunlop, at Perth today, it will be the seven-year-olds first run for the trainer.

Previously trained in Tipperary by Michael David Murphy, Apt To Run has won twice on the flat and once over hurdles, but hasn't run in almost 12 months.

Right Or Wrong will go for a novice chase, King Roonah for a handicap chase and The Shepherd will bid for a hurdle.

Last night's winner Supercede (won by 14 lengths) will bid for a quick double in the last race - another three-mile hurdle.
