FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WATCHFUL PROTECTOR showed promise on his course debut in January and while beaten 21 lengths on his recent hurdles’ debut, shaped as though he benefit from that run. He ran well behind two more experienced rivals here in January and while never in contention at Fairyhouse subsequently, he did finish his race nicely. Point-to-point winner L’Evangeliste himself showed promise in a smart course bumper during Christmas but on a line through that race’s runner-up Road Exile, has a little to find with the selection. Fruit De Mer easily defeated the now 105-rated Paul Collins to win his point last April and has since joined a leading trainer.
