Wexford Race 2 - Botanica International Rated Novice Hurdle

EURO AGENT (6) improved on three consecutive placings to get off the mark when making all to deliver a 3.25L success over the trip at Downpatrick. Further progress expected now entering novice company and may go back-to-back. LE ROI DU LIVET (1) was last seen opening his account under Brian Hayes at Tramore in May. That race has thrown out three subsequent winners. Key player first-up. HEY NOW (2) landed a comfortable 3.75L Sligo maiden hurdle triumph in May and rates highly with in-form Mark Walsh on board. Galway maiden hurdle winning DIRECT APPROACH (4) is a stablemate of the main selection and commands respect.
