FormscanBy Donal Murphy - GAULOISE and Global Equity are the stand out names here, with marginal preference for the former. Representing the red-hot team of Willie Mullins and Paul Townend, the selection won on her sole start in France, before being snapped up by leading owner Kenny Alexander. The chestnut four-year-old starts off over flights now and it'll come as surprise if she is not involved towards the business end here. Global Equity won a bumper at Galway last October and was then placed in a Listed contest at Navan. An excellent third on her hurdles debut in a Grade 3 at Limerick over Christmas, the Joseph O'Brien trained five-year-old disappointingly pulled up on her next outing at Fairyhouse. She was found to be clinically abnormal after that effort and returning from a break now, a much improved showing looks guaranteed. Nell's Well, Howluckycanwebe and Glenveagh Park appear the best of the rest.
