Verdict

Costing £330,000 at the Cheltenham sales in March, ANDY DUFRESNE makes his eagerly awaited debut for the Gordon Elliott yard here. The five-year-old will be hoping to see off the attentions of the potentially exciting, Golden Spread for Willie and Patrick Mullins. The Noel Meade-trained In Your Shadow and second on debut, Summer Hill can battle for the minor honours.
  1. Andy Dufresne
