FormscanBy Gary Carson - FARCEUR DU LARGE doesn't look badly treated on his handicap debut and there could be improvement to come from the second season novice. He was a good winner when last seen at Fairyhouse in January and Eoin Walsh, who got a good tune from him then, takes a useful 5lb off the back of the joint top-weight. Flash De Touzaine chased home the selection at Fairyhouse and he was a solid enough fourth in a strong novice handicap at Navan subsequently. At the weights he could be a danger now. Mica Malpic was a good winner in Listowel but the softer ground would be a bit of concern now for Enda Bolger's charge. %0A%0A
