FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LARGY HILL won over course and distance in December and beat today's rival and stablemate Special Cadeau last month. A big chasing type, he returned lame at Cork last April and while beaten 24 lengths in a hot Leopardstown bumper last month, was 13 lengths ahead of Special Cadeau and is now 5lb better off, under Sweden's Champion Amateur of 2015. Special Cadeau, seemingly his yard's first-string, is out of a 1,000 Guineas winner and while bought for 220,000 pounds following his bumper win, that form hasn't worked out. He ran well enough at Leopardstown during Christmas but weakened tamely on his subsequent run at that venue. Lucky Lyreen was a narrow winner at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day but faces a tougher task. Teutchers Glory, a bumper winner on debut in 2020, was 26 lengths behind Special Cadeau last Christmas but has encouraging recent hurdles form. Mickie Angel is a brother to a Grade 2 winner and showed promise in a recent point-to-point.
