If Gordon Elliott wants to maintain his record of winning the opening race having done so on the previous two days them Edene D’Arc will need to repeat her winning Gowran Park form rather than her last run as she runs into a potentially smart opponent in VISION DU PUY. The winner of a newcomers juvenile event at Auteuil by 15L she’s an interesting recruit for the Skelton/McManus axis with the trainer now having reached 200 plus winners this season. Off The Hook can’t be left out of the equation she is after all Listed placed and ran a fine fourth in the Mares’ Final at Newbury last time although this trip does look on the short side.
