Formscan By Mark Nunan - Placed several times at Graded level over hurdles, FLEUR IN THE PARK has made a good start to his chasing career and got off the mark in taking style when dropping back to this trip at Wexford. Although not short of stamina, connections feel that his slick jumping can be utilised to best effect over two miles and that theory will be tested to a greater extent as he steps up in class here. Prominent racer Westport Cove has a considerable edge in chasing experience over the selection and his Grade 3 victory at Roscommon is solid form which has been franked by the placed horses. Second at Cheltenham last month, Relieved Of Duties is not one to discount. %0A%0A
