FormscanBy Alan Magee - VAUTOUR looks a solid favourite. The French-bred gelding crowned an impressive novice hurdle campaign by taking the Festival opener in impressive fashion 12 months ago, and has taken well to fences this term. He impressed at Navan and recovered well from his only career blip at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting when returning to that venue for another commanding performance in a Grade 2. It’s 1-1 between Valseur Lido and Apache Stronghold this season, with the former coming out on top with a convincing win in the ‘Drinmore’ at Fairyhouse before the placings were reversed again in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown last month. Both are generally sound jumpers, and there should be precious little between them again. Ptit Zig looks the pick of the home challenge. He was on a real roll over fences until falling when stepping out of novice company in the Betfair Ascot Chase last month.
