FormscanBy Alan Magee - TEKAO won in impressive fashion on his only Flat start over 1m2f in France this spring and was sent off at odds-on to make a winning start over hurdles at Navan last month. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding didn’t find as much as expected on the run-in when third to Comfort Zone but that form looks pretty solid with the winner subsequently placed in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse and the runner-up going one better recently in a maiden. New Year Honours was among those well behind but he previously showed promise when runner-up to Cougar at Down Royal. Mark Walsh sticks with the selection in preference to Goodie Two Shoes who won two of her three starts on the Flat. Ascending, successful over a mile at Goodwood for Clive Cox, and Zanndabad, a four-time winner on the Flat in France, are other interesting recruits to hurdles.
