FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LOSSIEMOUTH has done little wrong in five hurdle runs and can confirm Triumph Hurdle placings with runner-up Gala Marceau. A debut Auteuil hurdle winner last April, her only defeat came against Gala Marceau at the Dublin Racing Festival when meeting significant trouble in-running but holds an edge having beaten Gala Marceau for a second time, at Cheltenham. Gala Marceau is high-class but needs to improve slightly to win. Enjoy The Dream is improving and won a recent Grade 2. She seems suited by soft ground but has French flat form on good and while the Fairyhouse runner-up was previously well held in the Triumph, Enjoy The Dream is open to further progression. Zarak The Brave is held by the selection on December form and met with a training setback subsequently while Nusret was third in an Aintree Grade 1, finishing behind the Triumph Hurdle-third.
