FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GOLD SPEED has shown enough in bumpers to suggest he can win on hurdles debut today. He initially showed ability in chasing home Felix Desjy at Punchestown in October 2017 and while he missed 621 days before returning at Listowel in September, then won nicely 20 days later on his second start back at Navan. He is clearly a capable type and while his only point-to-point run saw him fall at the first, he has strong claims today if taking to hurdling. Alpine Cobra returns to action following a long layoff and he too showed ability in bumpers but was held when falling at the second last at Limerick on his latest run in 2018. Davy Russell is an interesting booking but it is a big ask for a horse to win coming from such a long layoff. Judex Lefou has shown bits of useful form and while he chasing home a useful winner at Gowran, was never going to trouble that winner and might again bump into or or two too strong today. A Different World did well to win on debut in a 4yo point-to-point at Dromahane, for Derek O'Connor's brother Paurick O'Connor. He has since changed hands and while he did receive 5lbs from the runner-up in Dromahane and the form is unproven since, the runner-up changed hands for GBP60,000 subsequently and A Different World should win races, possibly in time though.
