FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Two each for Henry de Bromhead and Noel Meade in what is a real quality maiden hurdle with JULIES STOWAWAY getting the vote. Mags Mullins and her son Danny teamed up to land the feature with Agusta Gold here last Sunday, and this light-raced seven-year-old has plenty going for him. The selection was a smart sort in bumpers last term when seventh to Ferny Hollow at Cheltenham and has been placed on both outings since switched to hurdles after a summer break. He pushed the well-regarded Blue Lord close at Punchestown last time and is now preferred to Homme D’un Soir who has a similar profile having also won a bumper and shaped well in two outings since moved over hurdles this season. Buck’s Billionaire was reappearing after an absence of two years when disappointing here last month, while others to consider include Fun Light, Salt Wind and Coolbawn Lad.
