Verdict

MENGLI KHAN was still in front when running out at Leopardstown last time out and he can get back on track with a victory in this Grade 2 novice hurdle. The selection represents leading connections here and is taken to get the better of Getabird who impressed when making a winning hurdling debut here last month while the in form mare High School Days can claim third today.
