FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ARTHURIAN FAME has strong claims on his fifth hurdles attempt and could take plenty beating. He has won three times on the flat, comes here rated 98 in that sphere following a good run in the Cork Derby recently and also has plenty hurdles experience. His latest hurdles form was a little underwhelming but today's race is a slightly easier task. Santana Plessis is himself no slouch having won his bumper over course and distance last July. He ran a nice enough race on reappearance at Roscommon last month and while he might struggle to beat the selection, should still get involved for the placings. Peres Et Fils showed good form in two bumpers in 2018 and while he was well beaten at Clonmel last March, that was following a 462 days layoff and he could go well today with a tongue-tie now left off. The Tartan Spartan is best watched on his reappearance run following a very long layoff.
