A winner of a hurdle race at 3m 3f on soft ground. Pulled up at the last when 100-1 in the Group 1 Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham over 3m (good) in a Grade 1 hurdle race won by Brindisi Breeze last month on his latest outing.
A fiercely competitive event to bring proceedings to a close. Cheltenham Festival scorers Cape Tribulation and Son Of Flicka must rate high on the shortlist, especially Donald McCain's 8-y-o whose Coral Cup success has been franked with the runner-up, Get Me Out Of Here, winning in Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse on Monday, while Corkage is worthy of consideration having already clocked up three victories this term. The one to beat, however, looks to be Emma Lavelle's GULLINBURSTI. This progressive gelding narrowly lost out to the exciting Knock A Hand on his handicap debut at Newbury some two months ago and, with any further rainfall of no concern to him, he looks certain to be in the thick of the action again. Our Father and Volador add extra spice to the race.
