Forecasts

Whiskey Sour (15/8), Jeff Kidder (5/2), Tullybeg (4/1), Digby (11/2), The Jam Man (6/1), Streets Of Doyen (11/1), Dovlator (20/1), Max Flamingo (20/1)

Verdict

WHISKEY SOUR arrives on the back of a decent run on the Flat at Galway and can make a successful return to hurdles. Jeff Kidder ran well in a Tipperary Grade 3 last time can give the selection most to do ahead of Gordon Elliott's Mayo National winner Tullybeg, who reverts to hurdling for the first time since spring 2022.
