In depth
Verdict
Felix Desjy landed a Grade 2 hurdle at Punchestown in January last year and only contested Grade 1 races in three subsequent starts, scoring at Aintree. He's a superb prospect for the jumps campaign and can blow away the cobwebs with a big run here. Bumper winner Pike County is lightly-raced and has a future over jumps while Rasiym has a fitness advantage having been beaten a head by Shanroe at Limerick with the winner going on to score over hurdles a few days later. He had THOSEDAYSAREGONE just over a length back in fourth that day but the latter, who landed a major handicap over timber at Leopardstown in February, can take his revenge over this trip and land this.
