FormscanBy Tom Weekes - There's a suspicion FEU DU BRESIL may have needed the run, following four years and two months off, over Christmas. A smart second in an Auteuil hurdle on debut in October 2018, he returned following a mammoth 1,530-day layoff at Limerick and while he ultimately tired quite quickly, had raced too keenly and can progress. Cillians Charm was well held in a useful winners' race at Doncaster in November but drops back to maiden company. He has heavy-ground form and while a little disappointing at Doncaster, had previously run well at Naas and when finishing second over course and distance in October. Point-to-point winner Yeah Man ran well in an unplaced horses' maiden last month and could be suited by dropping to this distance, having travelled well at Naas. Trust Me Nate has some useful form while I Am Rocco's form is ordinary.
