FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FARCEUR DU LARGE can gain a belated first win. He initially showed real promise in his first two bumper starts but failed to build on that when sent hurdling, despite physically appearing the type to do well over jumps. However he has shown a useful enough level of ability over hurdles and takes a big step down in grade from the maiden hurdle he contested at Naas in January and will be well primed for a win before the high class novices appear. Ennemi Public has shown a similar enough level of ability to his similarly owned rival and reappears for the first time since March. He too will be ready for this but has 4lbs to find on official ratings with the selection and might find him a fraction too strong. L'Un Deux Trois is an interesting runner in that he has shown nice ability on the flat. He has yet to win and while he stays well, would ideally prefer a fast surface, which could be a concern today. Watch Guard hasn't run for 449 days and is best watched on hurdles debut.
