FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having finished runner-up on both starts over hurdles to date, this looks a good opportunity for FILLYOUREYE to register a first success. A former Kilbeggan bumper winner, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding was sent off a short priced favourite when taking minor honours at Punchestown last month. Stepping up in trip here should suit the son of Leading Light and, enable him make the breakthrough over flights. Point-to-point winner Rebel Budz went close on his hurdling debut when runner-up at Thurles in October. The Paul O'Flynn-trained seven-year-old should be capable of building on that effort. Frankie's Freebie, who finished behind the selection last time, should appreciate the extra distance he encounters on this occasion.
