FormscanBy Alan Magee - POWER HOUR has caught the eye staying on well on a number of occasions in bumpers and maiden hurdles including behind MacDermott at Tramore last spring. The lightly raced eight-year-old again showed plenty of promise when keeping on well into fourth behind Music Of Tara on his handicap debut over 2m4f at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and this longer trip should suit. Nobel Talent, Jeriko De Baune, Rusheen and Buachaillbocht all won last time with the latter showing a good attitude when successful over this course and distance. Jack Du Large starts handicap life on a mark of 104 after filling the runner-up spot in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden.
