FormscanBy Alan Magee - BOWENSONFIRE has won three times over hurdles this year including a valuable handicap at Bellewstown in July and has held his form well since including when coming home strongly into second behind Zillow at Fairyhouse last time. Sainte Lucie looked a smart prospect when easily landing a Punchestown maiden on her Irish debut but didn’t really progress subsequently last term when highly tried. Balko D’ange won a similar event at Navan last month while others to consider include topweight Path D’oroux and Tipperary maiden winner Ace Brannigan.
