FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Deux Par Deux is an interesting import from France where he gained plenty of experience, mainly over fences. It’s not often that you see a horse go straight into handicap company in such circumstances. The Manduro gelding hasn’t been seen out for 613 days and he’s likely best watched, but the market will be expected to reveal more. For a selection it may be best to look towards two County Waterford-trained contenders. LOW LIE THE FIELDS missed a couple of intended engagements since last in action. He’ll have a livelier surface to deal with here. The hat-trick could be there for him though, up in trip, from Jake Peter, coming off the Flat after a Dundalk second placing in January. R’evelyn Pleasure is well treated in this sphere.
