No Kidd-ing! Course winner Rashaan is ready to rock
Liam Healy Memorial Lartigue Hurdle | 2m | ATR
It was at last year's Listowel Harvest Festival when Rashaan started to make a name for himself. He had won the first three-year-old hurdle of the jumps season at Roscommon by six lengths and followed up with an equally impressive 7L victory on the first day of the festival here, prompting Colin Kidd to nominate a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse in November as his next target.
He went on to win that by 13 lengths and shot to the summit of the Triumph Hurdle market. Things went a bit pear-shaped and he didn't end up going to Cheltenham, but he got his head back in front in a 1m6f Flat maiden at Gowran Park last month and is the class act here. He handles soft ground too, so Kidd's stable star could be up to giving weight away to everything.
