Formscan By John O'Riordan - Well treated by the conditions of this race, RIVER TRIEUX(5) can gain a first career win. Sent off joint-favourite at Fairyhouse last time, the Paddy Twomey-trained filly didn't enjoy the clearest of passages before eventually finishing fifth. Although yet to race on the all-weather, there is nothing to suggest that the daughter of Havana Grey won't act around here and, if doing so, she looks the most likely winner. Recent course and distance scorer Eleanor Shelby shouldn't be far away. Despite missing the break, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly showed plenty of determination to get up close home for a narrow success. Near Perfection, who was only half a length back in third, also holds decent claims.
