Having his first run on the flat for Willie Mullins, Gaucher, a classy hurdler, is a fascinating prospect in the two-mile BAR 1 Casino Handicap in Dundalk tonight.

The six-year-old Frankel gelding triumphed twice on the flat in France back in 2022, over nine and ten furlongs, and has established himself as a smart hurdler since arriving in Closutton, notching up four wins, including three at Grade 3 level.
