Dirar can deliver off attractive mark in Hurdle

DIRAR gets the nod to land a typically wide-open Guinness Galway Hurdle at Ballybrit this afternoon.

He is trained by a man, Gordon Elliott, who can do little wrong and the five-year-old has a very progressive profile.

The selection warmed up with a victory on the flat at Ayr last month and that should have left him cherry-ripe for this test.
