Zaidpour looks well up to the task in Trial

Willie Mullins’ Zaidpour gets the nod to land the Grade 2 Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran Park this afternoon.

He won the two-mile test in a canter a year ago, but this is a far better renewal and a lot more will be required now. The versatile seven-year-old, however, is well up to the task and fancied to concede weight all round.

To emphasise his versatility, the selection’s latest two outings have been over three miles — finishing second behind Bog Warrior here and to Monksland at Leopardstown.
