ELIOS D'OR returned to form to score in emphatic fashion at Ludlow last month and is taken to repeat last year's success in this. Ecu de la Noverie showed a bit more encouragement from his reduced mark at Uttoxeter so is next best ahead of Texard, who made a respectable start for this yard at Aintree.
