Verdict

WHISKEY SOUR is without a victory since 2017 but he remains a smart hurdler and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways here. Gallant John Joe appeals as the one to chase home Willie Mullin's 9-y-o reverted to hurdles, with Wolf Prince in the mix too if shrugging off a lesser effort at Fairyhouse last week.

  1. WHISKEY SOUR (IRE)
