Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained DUCA DE THAIX can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking for his connections following a number of rock-solid starts since last month. The Voix Du Nord gelding can land the spoils here from Arvico Bleu who shapes like a strong chasing type and the J P McManus-owned All The Answers.
