Formscan By Alan Magee - APOLON DE CHARNIE was beaten six lengths by Proactif at Auteuil last autumn but turned that form around in no uncertain manner when landing the Triumph Hurdle on his first start for current connections. The selection can progress from that run, his first in six months, and also had a number of these rivals including One Horse Town well behind last time at Cheltenham. Proactif has twice beaten Macho Man at Fairyhouse while owner JP McManus is also represented by impressive Cheltenham Festival winner Saratoga. Bartholomew won a Cork maiden in fine style while Majolique and French import Matin Midi Et Soir are others to consider.

A hurdle for four years old only
Weights - 11st. Fillies allowed 7lbs.
