Paul Townend keeps the faith with DADDY LONG LEGS and his decision may well be vindicated. Indeed, the 5-y-o will prove hard to beat if returning to the level he showed when landing a big-field handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April. Stablemate Winter Fog was a wide-margin C&D winner during the summer and, having performed with credit on the Flat the last twice, he rates the main danger ahead of Mighty Tom.

    Verdict
    Smart hurdler. C&D winner. Creditable second of 11 in maiden at Gowran (14f, good to soft, 11/10) 33 days ago, no match for winner. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Paul Townend prefers Daddy Long Legs but he's greatly respected all the same.

    Verdict
    Smart hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in April. 5/1, last of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, good to soft) 66 days ago. That run is best overlooked (facing sideways when the race started and never involved) and he will have every chance if back to his best.
