Formscan By Michael Graham - KOPEK DES BORDES makes his eagerly-awaited debut over fences and is hard to get away from. He's a double Grade-One winner over flights including in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival, and is the ante-post favourite for the Arkle at Cheltenham in March after positive updates on his schooling over fences. The rain is music to Ballybow's ears and he could make his presence felt on his first crack at racecourse fences. He was successful at Grade 3 level over the smaller obstacles. Jump Allen has acquitted himself well over flights and is proven over further, while lightly-raced Lovely Hurling and the returning Harvard Guy add more spice to the mix.
