12:35 Thorntons Recycling Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

DOCTOR DU MESNIL beat a decent sort in Thedeviluno in impressive fashion on his debut in a Cork bumper back in April and looks like an exciting prospect. The Doctor Dino gelding is already prominent in the ante-post betting for the Cheltenham novice hurdles and can make a winning start over jumps. The obvious danger is El Cairos, on his first start for Gordon Elliott. The No Risk At All gelding was fifth in the Champion Bumper last term and cost connections 410,000 pounds at the sales recently. Impressive Galway bumper winner Murat did a bit too much in front on his jumping debut at Naas and, if he settles a bit better, he could go well.
