Verdict

Gordon Elliott has won two of the last four and Midnight Escape is expected to win races this campaign after showing potential in his four starts over fences at the end of last year. ORION D'AUBRELLE represents Willie Mullins and he produced his first real form for the yard in a tough handicap over hurdles at Punchestown last month. Very much bred for chasing he's taken to make a successful debut over the bigger obstacles. Rashaan, seven times a winner over hurdles and four times on the Flat, showed he would soon be scoring over fences when just failing to catch Damut over this trip at Limerick when Cliff House, who was also making his chasing debut, stayed on to finish 4l behind.
