L’Eau Dusaid aiming to go one better in Ayr Champion Hurdle
- Iberico Lord the danger
The ex-French horse L’Eau Dusaid has not won since he was transferred to Dan Skelton
‘s stable but has run two seconds at his last two races against very strong fields. He finished second out of 17 at Cheltenham last time and 2nd out of 21 at Newbury the time before. That is strong field and is my pick based on that. Iberico Lord has to be among the leading chances. He was pulled up last time at Cheltenham but has won two strong races in two of his previous three races before that, on at Newbury when he beat L’Easau Dusaid in an 87k race at Newbury and the other being a 56k race at Cheltenham. Doddiethegreat is good enough to plod into the minors but has no win or placed (1,2, or 3) form in races worth more than 16k.
