Formscan By Donal Murphy - All eyes will be on Faugheen here as he returns to action for the first time since January of 2016. Patrick Mullins said of the Champion Hurdle victor on Friday: "We're a little bit apprehensive, but John Cobb, who rides him every day, feels he is back to where he is happy with him and he's ready to start." The son of Germany lost his unbeaten record in this very race in 2015, and he may have to settle for minor honours again now. With race fitness on his side, fellow Champion Hurdle victor JEZKI is the one I'll row in with. The nine-year-old gelding comfortable dismissed a good quality field on his return to action at Tipperary last month, and with that run under his belt even more can be expected from him now. Three time Grade 1 victor Vroum Vroum Mag is another serious contender. Patrick Mullins said of her on Friday: "She finished lame after Punchestown, which was why she disappointed there, but my mother rides her every morning and is very happy with her. She is not going to be a pushover, she's a solid Grade One mare and Faugheen will have to be somewhere near his best to beat her." Campeador faces his biggest test to date, and it'll be interesting to see how he gets on, while the same can be said of the likeable Swamp Fox who completes the line-up.
