Race preview
DEE CAPO has been strong in the market on both outings and showed plenty of promise when sixth in a valuable sales bumper at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. Gordon Elliott's charge was a disappointing fifth at Navan after a five month layoff but should be sharper for the outing and deserves another chance. Sea The Stars gelding Sattam made the running when second to an Elliott-trained newcomer at Leopardstown in March and the winner landed a Listed bumper at Limerick on his next outing. Threesheetstothwind was beaten a long way when fifth at Bellewstown and needs to leave that debut effort a long way behind. It's interesting to see Patrick Mullins on board Jeu Du Pic who cost 100,000 Euros at the Derby Sale and is from a useful French family.
