Bank on Behtarini

JOHN OXX’S Behtarini can land the nap in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden at Gowran Park this afternoon.

The son of Dalakhani looks a horse with a bright future and is fancied to overcome the worst draw possible in one. His debut fourth behind Elusive Award at Leopardstown was nothing special, but Behtarini stepped well up on that performance next time.

Returning to Leopardstown, he ran a cracker to finish a length and a quarter runner-up to Chabal, with some very well-regarded sorts behind.
