Verdict
Want Of A Nail was last seen winning over fences here in November but she’d won a Grade 2 over hurdles earlier. However, she seems best on really heavy going and also has to give weight away on her reappearance. Moises Has may also prefer bottomless ground but did beat For Fun when second in a Grade 3 here in March when Galant Chaba was pulled up. Kool Has also has the beating of For Fun on their run together in the Grade 1 Prix Cambaceres - Grande Course de Haies here in November but we’d rather take a chance on GANT DE VELOURS. A very smart performer in bumpers, he won in a hack canter under Alain De Chitray on his hurdling debut here in March and could be anything.
