FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A dual scorer on the Flat in France, LOVE ME TENDER(13) can make a winning debut over hurdles. Sent off market leader for the Ebor handicap on his stable debut, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding ran a big race before weakening late on. Still relatively unexposed after just four career starts, the son of Tai Chi has the potential to do well over jumps this season. A highly consistent gelding in similar races in recent times, Tyson Fury rates a big danger. Although rated 11lb lower than the selection on the level, the Denis Hogan-trained nine-year-old has acquired plenty experience. Runner-up on his last two starts, Euro Agent has prospects of again reaching the frame at the very least.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 10lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
