Selection

Selection Selected At

Gringo d'Aubrelle

Selected at: 4/1

Gringo d’Aubrelle struggled last season, upon his return from a lengthy absence, but his impressive win over hurdles at Navan last time out suggests he’s back to his best. Gordon Elliott’s gelding has a significantly lower chase mark and is well set to take full advantage.
