FormscanBy Mark Nunan - There’s no doubt FOX LE BEL has the most potential of these as he starts off in handicap chases. He was unlucky when third in his first handicap hurdle last term and ran creditably a couple of times afterwards. His trainer Liz Doyle often prospers at this time of year and had a winner and a couple of placed horses at Tramore last week. Avec Espoir ran a flat sort of race at Fairyhouse, but was second at Wexford last month before being in contention when falling at Listowel. He might just have needed a clear round last time to get his confidence back and there are races to be won with him. Crack On Corrie has just a second outing over fences here and has been in good form over hurdles so far this autumn. There’s no more shielding or cocooning for the old boy See Double You who lines up at the age of 17 but will surely need the run having been confined to his garden all summer.
