FormscanBy Alan Magee - Fangio De Vassy is the clear form pick on his fifth to Stattler in a maiden hurdle over this trip at Leopardstown last Christmas. However, the Dromahane point-to-point winner has failed to recapture that form in three outings since including when reappearing at Killarney earlier this month. CAESAR ROCK showed promise in maiden hurdles last season including after a break when a close-up fourth at Navan and gets a tentative vote. Elmount appears to be progressing with each run and could also take a hand, while Clarabello probably ran probably his best race on testing ground here last spring and is another to consider.
