FormscanBy Alan Magee - GARS DE SCEAUX looks the one to beat in what appears the weaker of the two divisions of this maiden hurdle. The Saddler Maker gelding stayed on well to beat the useful Magic Tricks in a four-year-old maiden at Borris House and should be suited by this extra-half mile after filling the runner-up spot behind Hook Up on his debut under rules in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. Barbary Master appears the chief threat. The Noel Meade-trained gelding looked a stayer when landing a bumper at this venue last spring and made a promising start over hurdles at Punchestown this term before a below par effort when stepped up to this trip at Leopardstown after Christmas.
