Verdict

As sellers go, this is a half decent looking contest, with SWIFT SAILOR our selection ahead of Sir Monty and Ouste. You're taking a chance with Swift Sailor that he'll complete the course, as he's been prone to making mistakes, being pulled up on a number of occasions and falling on his penultimate run. However, hurdling seems more to his liking than chasing, and he was a decent second last time out. Gary Moore's got a 20 percent strike rate here, and you ignore his runners at your peril. Sir Monty hasn't won for a year, and it may be too much of a step up in grade, but the longer trip should suit. Ouste is an interesting runner, returning to hurdles following a fall on debut for Sophie Leech, after racing mainly on the flat in Ireland. The smaller fences should suit. Swift Sailor though gets the nod from us.
