Verdict

DADDY LONG LEGS made a mockery of his opening mark to take his hurdles tally to 3 wins from 5 starts on handicap debut at Punchestown in April. That effort marked him down as a potential graded performer and he can take the rise in class in his stride and go in again. Stablemate Winter Fog and thriving Minx Tiara (reportedly in foal) are others to consider in a competitive affair.
