Listowel & Dundalk tips: Whirling Dervish makes considerable appeal

The Ladbrokes “Where The Nation Plays” Handicap Hurdle, with a value of €75,000, is the feature on the penultimate day of action at the 2020 Listowel Harvest Festival and the Gavin Cromwell-trained Whirling Dervish makes considerable appeal despite the obviously competitive nature of the race.
Formerly with Jessica Harrington, for whom he achieved a career-high mark of 100 on the Flat, he switched to Cromwell late last year and had four runs over hurdles which yielded very little. However, he was a different proposition on his return, at Kilbeggan, where he won a maiden hurdle in a canter.
