S Twiston-Davies
N A Twiston-Davies
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 3f and 2m 4f on good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 13-8fav at Ffos Las over 2m 4f (good to soft) last month, beating Triptico by 24l.
Deireadh Re is sure to prove popular having turned in a couple of highly credible efforts in decent company in each of his last two starts over hurdles, finishing a good fifth behind Cape Tribulation in a Grade 3 contest at the Aintree Festival most recently. Starting out over fences this afternoon, he will certainly be expected to run well but it is another chasing debutant, SAME DIFFERENCE, that is preferred. The 6-y-o ran out a wide-margin winner of a novice hurdle at Ffos Las last month and edges the vote representing the in-form Twiston-Davies operation. Brass Taz can finish ahead of Al Co to claim minor money.
