Verdict

Gordon Elliott has a strong hand with ESKYLANE, who just failed to concede 7lb to Assemble over the track and trip in November, and Favori De Champdou, who wasn't disgraced behind the smart Eric Bloodaxe on his bumper debut here a month ago. The former gets the nod though Gavin Cromwell has his horses going well and Gabynako will improve for his run in a point in November. Fais Ton Chemin is the first foal of a winning jumper in France so looks one for the future.
