Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Thursday; Dispour in the Bangor 14:20. Compare odds and bet.
In 2011 Donald McCain saddled the smart Hollow Tree to make a winning hurdles debut in the opening juvenile contest at his local track, Bangor-On-Dee, and he can repeat the trick this afternoon with French import Dispour (2:20).
A taking winner at Maisons-laffitte in the colours of the Aga Khan when last seen in June, the Monsun gelding cost his new connections no less than €175,000 at the Arqana Sales the following month.
This looks a match on paper between the selection and Alan King’s Herod The Great, but preference is for the chestnut who looks the type to make up in to a smart juvenile and can start to repay his hefty price tag with immediate effect.
Thursday’s selection:
2:20 Bangor-On-Dee: Dispour; 8/11 bet365
