Formscan By John O'Riordan - Supreme Novices' Hurdle fifth EL CAIROS can record a first win at the highest level. A smart bumper horse last season, the No Risk At All gelding was an unlucky loser when falling at the final flight on his stable/hurdling debut at Leopardstown over Christmas. Off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Thurles subsequently, he was far from disgraced when doing best of the Irish raiding party in the Cheltenham Festival curtain-raiser. Leopardstown Grade 1 winner Skylight Hustle can be forgiven a below-par effort at Cheltenham given that he ran too free, and dropping back in trip should suit. Smart Flat horse Sober also deserves another chance after a poor Festival run.
