FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Willie Mullins is two-handed with Elite Charboniere, and the selection, STATUAIRE. The daughter of Muhtathir built on earlier French promise to make a stylish winning start for Closutton at Downpatrick last month. She’s back in trip now, but with the mare’s allowance and Jack Foley’s seven pound claim, Statuaire looks well placed to account for the geldings. There’s no shortage of opposition with reasonable claims though, given that there are several last time out winners in the field. Meanwhile, for high-profile connections, Gloire D’athon could be helped by the addition of a tongue-strap. It’s a tough introduction on the racecourse proper for local hope, The Deise Man.
