Race Tip

NO DRAMA THIS END (12) seeks to replicate The New Lion's win in this contest last year by following up his G1 Challow Novices Hurdle success. Course and distance winner at G2 level. Freshened for 72 days and rates a leading contender. SKYLIGHT HUSTLE (16) represents the main danger in view of a 5L win in the G1 Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown when taking advantage of Talk The Talk's final-flight fall. BALLYFAD (2) progressed markedly when a nose runner-up to the aforementioned Talk The Talk in the G1 Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle. Jack Kennedy's choice. Open to further improvement upped in trip. Classy Royal Ascot winner SOBER (17) holds an interesting profile and cannot be discounted.
