FormscanBy Alan Magee - LA TEKTOR only made his debut under rules 12 months ago and, following a sequence of second places behind some useful sorts, went one better in a Fairyhouse maiden at Easter. He was switched to fences on Troytown Chase day here last month and there was plenty to like about his third to Cash Back over 2m1f. He should progress from that reappearance effort and will enjoy the step up in trip. Diamond Turf is a course bumper winner and showed promise over hurdles last season including when third to Carefully Selected at Limerick. He went close when switched to fences after a seven-month break at Fairyhouse only going down by a length behind stable-companion From Eden. An Fraoch Mor finished well behind Debuchet over two miles at Fairyhouse, while Connard would be a threat if reproducing his third to subsequent Irish National winner Burrows Saint at Gowran Park last spring.
