Formscan - PARC D'AMOUR offered plenty of promise on his hurdling debut over C&D last month and as that form was significantly boosted by the winner going in again at Aintree on Saturday, there are solid grounds for siding with the Kim Bailey-trained gelding. Equinus ran well for second in a bumper here on his introduction and he is a half-brother to a winning hurdler so can be expected to adapt well to this discipline. Erigmoor and Danton are others to bear in mind.
