A couple of these stand out representing powerful yards though Orion D'Aubrelle has been given a short break since finishing a modest fifth at Ballinrobe on his chasing debut. Better is expected today but CALTEX finished a lot closer when runner-up at Galway recently on only his second start over fences and Gordon Elliott’s charge is taken to go one better in this with any further progress. Triolet may prove best of the rest ahead of chasing newcomer Celebrity Status.
