Gordon Elliott sent ROBIN DES MANA over from Ireland to win at Worcester earlier in the month when All The Colours was beaten out of sight. She’s conceding weight to all of these but still comes out best on today’s terms and is hard to oppose. Jonagold won over timber last year in between poor efforts over the larger obstacles while Torrent Des Mottes only faded in the closing stages when third at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago. Mutawaasel may finish closer today dropping down in class.
