FormscanBy Alan Magee - SPRINGHILL WARRIOR filled the runner-up spot on debut at Navan last spring and was absent until again taking second spot behind the odds-on I Started A Joke at Punchestown last month. That form received a boost on Sunday, and the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding should progress and go one better. Lincoln Du Seuil won a French bumper and has shown some promise over hurdles but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Naas in December. Grandy Lane has gone close both in a bumper and over hurdles, while French import Harwa hails from a yard in good form and is one to keep an eye on in the betting.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
