10/3

Smart hurdler. 11/1, tailed-off seventh of 8 to Darasso in Ballybin Hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Looks the form pick, and worth a chance to bounce back.

Forecasts

Whiskey Sour (2/1), Darver Star (10/3), Uhtred (7/2), Off You Go (6/1), Soviet Pimpernel (8/1), Pipers Meadow (16/1)

DARVER STAR has disappointing in graded company last 2 starts, but has his sights lowered here and his stable have been back amongst the winners in recent weeks, so should get the better of Whiskey Sour, who is also liable to bounce back from a poor run (in same race as the selection) at Fairyhouse 81 days ago. Soviet Pimpernel is another one to consider.
