Timeform Verdict Timeform Verdict

It was a decent maiden hurdle in which POUR LES FILLES was a promising third on his hurdles debut at Punchestown when last seen in October and he may well find the necessary improvement to see off the likes of Nas Na Riogh, Park The Giant and Brave Fortune (in order of preference). Indeed, Gordon Elliott's charge achieved a useful level of form in bumpers (wasn't beaten far in a Grade 2 event at Aintree last spring) and he is not short of potential. Toor Khov also enters calculations.

Betting Forecast

10/3 Nas Na Riogh (Ire), 11/2 Park The Giant (Ire), 66/1 Notarazoo (Ire), 66/1 Shanroe Nelson (Ire), 300/1 Little Eddie (Ire), 300/1 Red Coral House (Ire), 40/1 Depalma (Ire), 200/1 Cullig (Ire), 400/1 El Phenomeno (Fr), 40/1 Thunder Rose (Ire), 200/1 Emperor Of Silk (Ire), 500/1 Saynothinatall (Ire), 497/1 Aisling's Court (Ire), 12/1 Recoded (Ire), 7/1 Brave Fortune (Ire), 7/1 Toor Khov (Ire), 4/1 Pour Les Filles, 20/1 Fortunate Lighting (Ire), 100/1 Toor Beag (Ire)
