BetMGM County Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)
Dan Skelton has landed the spoils in four of the past eight renewals, and L'EAU DU SUD is taken to further enhance that strike-rate. Treatment for ulcers saw the six-year-old travel with far more verve when a cracking second in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury and that form reads well, with the third winning the Imperial Cup last weekend. Faivoir was narrowly denied in that Sandown contest, but took this prize for Skelton 12 months ago and shouldn't be far away if coping with the quick turnaround. Willie Mullins also boasts a fantastic record in this contest and has five chances of a seventh County success. Ebor hero Absurde could prove to be the pick of them, as an opening mark of 138 in this sphere looks far from insurmountable given his class on the level. Gordon Elliott's handicap debutant King Of Kingsfield is also sure to have his supporters having made the frame in a handful of Grade 1 events.
