FormscanBy Michael Graham - DECIMATION ran a cracker on debut and ought to take plenty of beating. He ran on well to get to within a neck of a long odds-on favourite (who had previously been placed in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival) in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse. Envious Editor is a maiden after eight hurdle races but can pick up more prize money after finishing third in Listowel, on his first start for Gordon Elliott. Optum was tailed off on his comeback run at Galway but is probably better judged on a short head second on his penultimate run at Thurles in March. Thalitleozibatler hasn't shown much in two starts but Willie Mullins may yet find the key to him.
