8/11

Smart juvenile hurdler last season, including Grade 2 win at Leopardstown last Christmas. Found Vauban too strong when runner-up in Grade 1 company on final 3 starts but can return to winning ways on reappearance.

Forecasts

Fil Dor (8/11), Brazil (15/8), Prairie Dancer (11/2), Lunar Power (12/1), Surviving Murmansk (300/1)

Gordon Elliott has dominated this race in recent years and last season's very smart juvenile FIL DOR is selected to give the weight away to Fred Winter winner Brazil in what may develop into a straight fight between the pair.
