FormscanBy Gary Carson - This looks like a nice opportunity for BLEU D'ENFER. Stuart Crawford's charge ran well over fences at Punchestown last month when chasing home Aslukwoodhavit in a rated novice. He had some solid hurdles form last season and this looks like the weakest race he has encountered so far. Purse Price was running a big race when unseating at the last at Clonmel last time and getting 9lb from the selection she looks like a danger. The Other Mozzie has had some nice runs in bumpers and is another that has to be considered on his hurdling debut.
