Trainer Gordon Elliott appears to have found an ideal opportunity for his eight-year-old ALPHA DES OBEAUX to win the fourth chase of his career here given a clear round. Running well in defeat of late, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding can add to his total of wins over the larger obstacles on the third start for his handler.
