FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A bumper winner at Gowran last year, PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS has gradually been getting the hang of things over hurdles and was beaten less than a length when stepped up to this trip at Fairyhouse last month. The tongue-tie tried then is left off here but he was strong at the finish on that occasion and he should be coming home well up the long straight at this venue. The fourth at Fairyhouse won next time and back in sixth was Time Marches On who was coming back from a break. The Scorpion gelding showed promise in bumpers last year and is 8lb better off with the selection this time. Glenglass was second in a Fairyhouse maiden earlier in April and is open to improvement while Auckland has plenty of handicap experience to draw upon.
