One can't help but feel connections are somewhat beginning to scratch their heads with Ettu, who ought to be good enough to take this based upon her pleasing second to Yellowhammer on turf at Newmarket in October. However, she switches to Tapeta for the first time and drops back to 6f (far more likely to suit than a mile), but from a mark of 73 is able to be taken on with the €50,000 Yearling VAN VELDE. This is a weak race, but if fully tuned up, he can provide both John Quinn and Jason Hart with a quick double. 1. Van Velde 2. Ettu 3. Mimic's Memory
