In depth
Verdict
K'chou Du Pecos Aa fared better at Clonmel on his hurdling bow than he did when pulled-up at Tramore last time while Zambezi Fix finished closer when fourth at Punchestown last month without threatening. Both have some improving to do despite representing powerful yards and ELEAZAR DES NEIGES is preferred. He attempted to make all over 2m at Clonmel earlier in the month but faded in the closing stages and this extra distance looks sure to suit Henry De Bromhead’s charge. Siberian Star finished behind the selection last time but may still prove best of the rest.
