Eldorado Allen finished second to Shishkin in the Arkle three years ago and then went on to win the Haldon Gold Cup that year after but since then connections have tried to make him into a staying chaser. He did win a Denman chase at Newbury beating the likes of Royal Pagaille and Clan Des Obeaux but was probably flattered by those two chasers under performing. Since that Newbury victory Eldorado Allen has run thirteen times without winning but has run some decent races in defeat, notably finishing second in a Charlie Hall Chase and a Betfair Chase. The highlight of this season was finishing fourth to Datsalrightgino in the prestigious Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Despite the good runs at around three miles, the suspicion remains that Eldorado Allen probably finds that sort of distance stretching his stamina. The ten-year-old’s supporters will point to the fact that he is a half-brother to the Enda Bolger trained Auvergnat who won a cross-country race over four miles and one furlong but the bulk of Eldorado Allen’s form seems to suggest he is unlikely to see out the distance of a Grand National.
