Elleval

Back home after his fifth Dubai Carnival campaign, Elleval will be aimed at the €25,000 1m2½f Fast-Track-Qualifier at Dundalk on Friday, March 24. The winner is guaranteed a place in the £200,000 Middle-Distance Final on April 14, the richest race on the All-Weather in Britain and the highlight of All-Weather Championships at Lingfield.

Elleval, owned by Damian Lavelle, has picked up $30,250 for his efforts at Meydan. His standout performance was an unlucky second behind Folkswood in a $125,000 handicap. The runner-up in the 2013 UAE Derby was bought for £45,000 at 2012 Doncaster Breeze-Up Sale and has earned his owner nearly $900,000 in his career to date.
