FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FAUGHEEN has floored some big-hitters in his time and having flattened Samcro at Limerick over Christmas, can beat Samcro's stablemate Battleoverdoyen and win today. Willie Mullins has expressed annoyance in himself at not sending the former Champion Hurdler chasing last term and the 12yo's form over fences this term has been excellent. He made some jumping errors when managing to win on chase debut at Punchestwon in November and readily defeated Samcro to win a Grade 1 at Limerick over Christmas. FAUGHEEN has has health problems in the past and while they may always be a minor concern, a reproduction of his Limerick run would see him hard to beat today. Battleoverdoyen is himself no slouch as a Grade 1 winning novice hurdler and who won a top level novice chase here over three miles in December. However that win, in a three-runner race cut up by the drying ground, appeared quite laboured and he doesn't have the undoubted pace of an on-fire FAUGHEEN. Easy Game won his beginners chase, from a subsequent smart winner, over CD in December and while he was a Grade 2 and Grade 3 winning hurdler, was rated just 142 in that sphere and needs to find improvement today. Castlebawn West is capable but also needs to show vast improvement on overall form to win while stablemate Tornado Flyer was reported to have has a respiratory tract infection when pulling up at Naas recently and comes here on a retrieval mission.
