Formscan By Mark Nunan - The Willie Mullins-trained SEA OF SANDS was a Group 3 winner at three in Germany before losing his form at four. He hasn't been seen for over two years but is given the vote to make a winning start in this discipline. The selection's former stablemate Special Cadeau has had three starts over hurdles and was runner-up on testing ground at Naas in May. He returns from a summer break and starts off for Henry de Bromhead. The Mediator has been placed in half of his eight starts over hurdles but didn't improve much for first-time blinkers when fourth at Galway. Brave Fortune had a couple of decent hurdle runs in the spring and is another to consider.%A0
