FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GENOIS won a maiden hurdle at Naas last year and has run well on all three starts over fences. The form of his second over 2m at this venue in May was endorsed when the winner followed up back here and he again ran creditably when third to another classy type at Ballinrobe. He was taken out of his comfort zone last time and stepping up to this trip may enable him to jump a little more fluently. Champagne Gold won his maiden hurdle here and has some smart handicap form to his name, notably a second at last year’s Dublin Racing Festival. The experience gained from two runs over fences last season will stand to him. Everglow’s stable has been quiet but with a rating of 130 he has to come into calculations. The Presenting gelding ran creditably several times behind talented novices last term and was a fair third over 3m at Punchestown at the end of May.
