Formscan By Mark Nunan - GRINGO D’AUBRELLE switches back to a bumper having finished runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Galway a month ago. The Saddler Maker gelding should come on from that seasonal reappearance and had useful mare Choice Of Words behind when third in a bumper at Thurles in January. He’s likely to be hard to beat although he has been taken out a couple of times due to drying ground and his form, including a point-to-point victory, is all on a softer surface. King Kali had Kool Kal well behind in fourth when runner-up to Agritime at Limerick. The winner readily followed up next time and Sean Byrne’s charge looks next best of those with previous form. L’yser, who is from a useful French family and is a full-brother to decent hurdler Morosini, is tongue-tied for his debut while fellow newcomer Mount Brown is a half-brother to four winners on the Flat. The Flat-bred Colonel Bellew, a half-brother to a 6f winner, is another first-timer to note.
