Riviere D'etel ran away with the John & Chich Fowler Memorial EBF Mares Chase for Gordon Elliott at Fairyhouse.The seven-year-old was one of five contenders in the race and a 100-30 chance, as Willie Mullins' Allegorie De Vassy was the 8-13 favourite.On testing ground, there was no contest, however, and it was Elliott's runner that won by an unchallenged 33 lengths under Jack Kennedy."She'll probably be very hard to place, I'd say going right-handed really suited her and Jack said she loved the ground," said Elliott."Jack said she stayed very well and we're delighted with her.
