Hello Neighbour silk
Hello Neighbour
Selected at: 5/1

Unbeaten in four starts between the Flat and hurdles, Hello Neighbour is a huge talent with a huge engine and although visually he doesn’t win by far, he idles once he hits the front. He can be very keen but the hood helped him to settle when winning a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival. His challenge will have to be timed right but he should come there swinging off the bridle and as long as he doesn’t hit the front too soon, he should take beating.
