FormscanBy Gary Carson - FARCEUR DU LARGE hasn't been far away in a couple of decent beginner chases recently and should have a big shout now in this rated contest. He just scrapes into this off his hurdles rating of 125 and this looks a nice bit easier than the task he faced when fourth to Stattler at Fairyhouse 16 days ago. The mare Razzle Dazzle Love looks an obvious danger as she also has the top mark over timber. She ran well when chasing home Global Equity on her chase debut at Galway but her jumping let her down a touch at Fairyhouse last time. The Priests Leap wasn't far off the aforementioned pair over hurdles but fell in this race last year and was well held when sixth behind Ferny Hollow at Punchestown earlier this month. There may be better to come from him over fences.
