Formscan By John O'Riordan - LEADER D'ALLIER can end a somewhat frustrating season on a winning note. A five-time scorer in his native France, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding made a satisfactory Irish debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, at a time when his stable weren't firing on all cylinders. An impressive winner over this course and distance next time, the five-year-old had been a leading Supreme Novices' candidate before suffering a last minute setback. Although well beaten at Fairyhouse earlier this month, a bad mistake three out all but ended his chances. He can show his true ability here. Royal Bond fourth Gameball has to be a strong contender on his first start since November. Unbeaten in all three career starts, Nadia''s Boy also holds claims.
