A lightly-raced winner in points, OLD TOWN GARDE showed up well when sixth in a Naas maiden hurdle (19f) 33 days ago, just shaping as though the run would bring him on having travelled well for a long way. He earns the vote to confirm the promise of that effort, with stablemate The Greek and Gipsi Joe fancied as the chief threats.
