Formscan - NOIRCI (4) has won both of his races on the flat, the most recent at Argentan. He will be well schooled by his astute trainer and can remain unbeaten on his hurdling bow. NELSON DU SEUIL (2) showed a good deal of promise on his debut when second on the flat at Moulins in mid-September. He will be nicely tuned by connections on his hurdle race debut and can have a say in the finish. NEUF FOIS SUR DIX (5) has improved with racing, and scored on the flat at Le Mans early last month. He has the scope to do well in this code. NATURAL CLASS (9) is another to consider after two promising runs on the flat and is one to pay attention to now trying hurdles for the first time.
