Trainer Gordon Elliott can land his first victory in the Galway Hurdle with the classy, FELIX DESJY. The trainer can land the spoils with the seven-year-old following a facile win on the Flat at Navan on return to action earlier this month. The French bred can get the better of the Charles Byrnes-trained Wonder Laish who will strip fitter for his recent effort behind Aramon at Tipperary last month. The top weight won won by 2L at the track with Petit Mouchoir in second. There is no reason why the form of that race cannot stand up in this contest.
- Felix Desjy
- Aramon
