This is ADRIEN DU PONT’s trip and he was travelling easily in front when falling at Wincanton in March when last running over it. Wotzizname only won a match here two weeks ago but Ecu De La Noverie looks a danger, even though he hasn’t won a race since 2019. It’s a long time since Skylander and Kilronan Castle last ran under Rules.
