FormscanBy Michael Graham - HOLLOW GAMES was impressive in a beginners' chase over CD and can take the next step on the ladder. He came in by a comfortable four lengths and looked tailor-made for the chasing game. He won at Grade 3 level over hurdles in addition to finishing third at the highest level on a couple of occasions. It isn't hard to see him improving upon that record in this sphere. He holds a clutch of Grade 1 entries over Christmas. Sea Ducor reached a mark of 134 over hurdles. He faced a tough task on chasing debut in a different beginners' chase over CD last month and again looks up against it, but could be best of the rest. Francin returned from a long absence in October. He was a talented hurdler when formerly with Willie Mullins.
