    News has recently filtered through that Dermot Weld has had a change of mind and will run both Elegant Concorde (8/1 with Bet365) and Hidden Universe (9/1 with Paddy Power) as he had originally stated that just one would run as they were in the same ownership but clearly his owner is a sporting kind of chap.
