Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (Registered As The Fred Winter) (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)
Paul Nicholls has a good record in this race and sends out the consistent Liari with a fighting chance of coping with joint-top weight. Already a dual Listed race winner over hurdles, the French import has flourished since switching to this sphere and can be expected to launch another bold bid, as he attempts to maintain his unbeaten status over timber. However, the previous course experience held by fellow French-bred gelding MILAN TINO earns him a narrow vote of confidence. A commendable third in a couple of Triumph Hurdle Trials here in his last two starts, the JP McManus-owned four-year-old has experience of both the old and new courses at this venue, which can only be an asset as he bids to enhance his progressive profile. Of the rest, the Willie Mullins-trained Batman Girac commands respect now he drops in class to tackle a handicap for the first time, while his stablemate Miss Manzor also comes in the reckoning after winning well at Fairyhouse last time out. Ndaawi, who was rated 96 at his peak on the Flat, is another to seriously consider despite this being considerably tougher than the maiden hurdle he landed at Naas in January. Harsh has a speedy pedigree and, along with Roaring Legend, could offer some each-way value.
