FormscanBy Gary Carson - RIVIERE D'ETEL can confirm recent form with Allegorie De Vassy over this shorter trip. The Martaline mare was impressive at Fairyhouse last time when skipping clear from the second last for a very easy success over two-miles-five. She is also equally effective at the minimum trip and had run a solid race to chase home Captain Guinness at Navan previously. Paul Townend sides with Allegorie De Vassy again and she is a classy mare on her day. She wasn't at her best last time but has to be respected on the pick of her form. She had been a good winner at Clonmel in November when she had stablemate Instit and last year's Grand Annual winner, Maskada, in behind.
