Formscan By Michael Graham - SYRACUS DU HOUX has been running in some maiden hurdles that were won by very useful horses. He could have a say on handicap debut off a mark of 106 as he has a Punchestown runner-up spot in the book. Therellbeguddaysyet has to bounce back from a below-par effort over a shorter trip at Gowran Park, but that is feasible. He won a maiden hurdle on his last visit to this track in November. Slim Marvel could lay down a challenge as she has been in decent nick since December. Joseph O'Brien's Duke Silver tends to attract support and the suspicion is that there is another victory in his locker, while Milanaway is another to consider.
