FormscanBy Michael Graham - FITNESS DU SUD will handle this rain-softened ground which gives him every chance. He has had three outings in bumpers with his best finishes coming on testing ground when second in Tramore and third at Down Royal. Furthermore, Willie Mullins and Paul Townend have been in irresistible form over the last three weeks. Hesamanofhisword has no less than six placed efforts in hurdle races to his name. He could be the one to take advantage if Fitness Du Sud disappoints on jumping debut. Talk Of The Town appeared to be a big galloping horse when delivering at a price on debut in a Kilbeggan bumper. He then didn't run badly at all when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Galway. He's by an American sire, though, so all of this rain doesn't look ideal. Little Lady Lu is experienced over hurdles. She may find a couple too good, but has a shot at prize money again if the ground doesn't get too deep.
