GYTO Sunday Notebook Double

This looks a great opportunity for LOW STYLE to return to winning ways. This six-year-old still has a fair bit of potential after just the six starts over hurdles and only two in a handicap. He was an easy winner at Roscommon back in September off a mark of just 90 and was far from disgraced when third at Leopardstown last month off a mark of 104. He never really travelled last time when held up and looked to need the run for me. He is open to plenty of improvement and this looks the right race for him to resume his progress.

Doyen Ta Win showed a good attitude to come out on top at Limerick last month and the third Bluebell Diva has won nicely since to frank the form. She is up 5lb but still looks the danger I just worry how much pressure she’ll face on the front end here as it won’t be as easy to dominate again I don’t think.

There is no doubt RUSSIAN VIRTUE is at the top of his game right now. He returned from a break to finally win a race at Newcastle over hurdles, staying on strongly to win readily. He then managed to follow up at Musselburgh despite being given a fair bit to do. He was still two lengths down at the last but once switched right really came with a rattle to get up late. Switched back to the Flat at Newcastle he again asserted impressively and back over hurdles could keep this winning run going.

A further 5lb rise demands more but the penny has really dropped with him and he finds himself in another winnable contest here. Silkstone has won his last two as well and has a similar profile to the selection so will be the danger up another 4lb. Bridge Road won at Leicester and then stayed on well at Wetherby last time so also deserves respect.
