FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GARDENS OF BABYLON did well to win on hurdles debut on New Year's Eve and might be able to make the step up in grade and win again here. He initially appeared a smart prospect on the flat for Aidan O'Brien and while he only ran once as a three year old for Ballydoyle, reappeared in great style to win on his reappearance run and jumps debut following a 259 day absence at Punchestown. He is sure to improve from that run and could be the type to do quite well over hurdles. There are plenty dangers in the race and Got Trumped was a fine third at Grade 2 level at Leopardstown over Christmas. He beat Leopardstown winner Rocky Blue in winning his maiden hurdle in November and while he was unable to confirm form, he nonetheless ran a solid race in defeat. He should be able to get involved at the business end again today and should make the selection work. La Sorelita was 2.5L behind Got Trumped in that Leopardstown race and having been well backed to win, some progression is still possible. She ran twice over hurdles in her native France, winning on debut last July, and should also get involved at the business end today. Surin was beaten just 0.5L by the selection on her hurdles debut at Punchestown and while GARDENS OF BABYLON might possibly be open to more progression being a very well bred ex-Ballydoyle runner, Surin herself has a useful flat pedigree and was a bumper winner on debut. Lever Du Soleil is a useful and proven front-runner but has a bit to find with Got Trumped on a strict form-line through his Fairyhouse conquerors Chief Justice and Coeur Sublime while Havingagoodtime was a surprise winner at Fairyhouse last month and faces a much stiffer task today.
