FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Connections of CERBERUS were brought in before the stewards following his run on the flat at Navan recently and could now successfully revert to hurdling. He was a smart juvenile hurdler last term and having twice placed at Grade 1 level, finished the curtailed season with a good sixth placing in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. He has plenty weight to give away today but his recent away-day at Navan will have brought him on plenty and he can prove competitive in his first handicap hurdle. Fujimoto Flyer was herself a smart performer last term and while her lack of a recent outing isn't ideal, she nonetheless won a Listed Hurdle at Autueil last Sept and was second at Grade 2 level at Kempton in February. Anna Bunina and Yafordadoe are both chasing hat-tricks and while they have obvious claims, each has risen through the ratings and as they step up in class. Saint D'Oroux was third in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last March and while thus is proven in this grade, possibly needs to show more than on his two runs in July. Red Gerry has a much tougher task than when winning his maiden hurdle earlier this month while Bear Claws similarly faces a sterner test than when beating today's lightly rated rival Marmolata at Tramore.%0A
