FormscanBy Mark Nunan - AU FLEURON was a comfortable winner of a 2m2f bumper under Jamie Codd at Tipperary back in March and starts out for Gordon Elliott in a maiden hurdle that won’t take much winning. The third horse from the Tipperary race won a bumper at Galway last month to give some substance to the form. Previously too free in his races, Hans Gruber settled better when runner-up to a smart stablemate of the selection’s at Fairyhouse and can build on that if staying this longer trip. Noah’s Light was a creditable third to yet another Elliott inmate on his hurdling debut over course and distance and is entitled to improve for the experience. Bust Or Bray Dee looks very much his trainer’s second-string but was runner-up over this trip at Gowran and has definite place claims.
