9/2
Useful hurdler who hasn't kicked on from initial promise over fences, struggling when not fluent 2 out when sixth in a Fairyhouse handicap in January. Still, claims of getting involved in this line up

Timeform
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 10/1, ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy) 64 days ago. May well get back on track now sights are switched to chasing.

8/1

Forecasts

El Barra (1/4), Soviet Pimpernel (9/2), Whiskeywealth (8/1), That'll Be The Day (40/1), Hereditary Rule (66/1), Tipping Away (100/1), He Fitz In (125/1)

Verdict

A low-mileage, useful hurdler, EL BARRA has made a bright start over fences, confirming debut promise in this sphere when third behind Saint Sam at Fairyhouse 4 weeks ago, and this looks a good opening for him to get off the mark. Soviet Pimpernal is narrowly preferred to Whiskeywealth for the forecast.
