3:40 JLT HANDICAP HURDLE

Le Vagabond will be difficult to beat in this if he can translate his good flat form to hurdles. Edward O’Grady’s gelding hasn’t been seen jumping since last May but has improved his flat rating by 15lbs since then, winning twice and running with credit in some big handicaps. He warmed up for this with a good second to Roconga at Cork and he should have his ideal conditions here.
