Formscan - HAREL DU MARAIS has been running some creditable races in defeat in Irish maiden hurdles and this appears a good opportunity for the five-year-old to gain a breakthrough success. Point-to-point winner General Officer may have more to offer in this sphere after finishing a fair third on his bumper debut at Carlisle. Sanosuke has failed to threaten the main principals on his last two efforts, but often runs his race.
