FormscanBy Alan Magee - PARMENION was bought for 230,000 at Arqana after winning his only start on the Flat in France but has been beaten twice at odds-on for current connections in maiden hurdles. He filled third spot behind High Definition here at Christmas before coming up against another smart sort in Found A Fifty at Fairyhouse. He can gain compensation here if staying the extra half-mile. Lets Go Champ was also an expensive purchase after winning a point-to-point but was absent for nearly four years before filling third behind the selection’s stablemate Tactical Move at Punchestown in January. Present Soldier has a similar profile having cost 300,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point and kept on into fourth behind another Mullins maiden hurdle winner, Seabank Bistro, at Naas.
