It could be a case of the Irish showing the home brigade the way home again and an improved effort on his recent couple of runs can be expected from Nusret now he races on a better surface. He was pretty impressive on his hurdles debut in a race that’s worked out pretty well. Beaten a fay way in his last two starts both were on soft ground and behind the two market leaders for the Triumph Hurdle. A few form lines suggest he has the beating for the Fav, especially in receipt of 5lbs.Spartan Army is a notebook horse from Chepstow where he looked all at sea on the soft ground. A fair effort last time behind a potentially well handicapped winner. On ratings he has a bit to find, but he’ll prove himself better than his rating and can outrun his odds here, so is also advised each way.
