FormscanBy Alan Magee - SAINT BACO showed promise in France last year and the form of his third in a hurdle at Auteuil has worked out well since. The Cokoriko gelding is a half-brother to Saint Roi who proved a smart sort both over hurdles and fences for Willie Mullins. Lazare De Star finished well when runner-up on his only point-to-point start and was subsequently purchased for 190,000 euro, while Sense Of Occasion also ran with credit between the flags. Le Moulin Rouge ran quite freely but finished well when third to stablemate Sageborough at Wexford and is now fitted with a hood, while War Rooms held a career high rating of 104 on the Flat and is an interesting recruit to hurdles.
A hurdle for four years old only, maidens at startingWeights - 11st 7lbs. Fillies allowed 7lbs.
