FormscanBy Gary Carson - The fact that Willie Mullins runs GARS EN NOIR in Grade 2 company on his first outing forthe yard looks a major vote of confidence in the French import. The Masked Marvel gelding won the second of two outings in his native land and the front pair pulled 30 lengths clear of the field that day. The runner-up has run a decent race in a Listed hurdle since, so that form looks strong enough. Gars En Noir made a couple of mistakes on the way round when winning at Auteuil in March and is sure to have been well schooled since joining the champion trainer. Indiana Jones was impressive when winning on his debut at Cork at the start of the month and looks a danger. He is a big horse and may improve with time. Call Me Lyreen is unbeaten in two starts and has to be respected but this looks a significant jump up in class from winning at Sligo last time.%0A
