Formscan By Gary Carson - EL FABIOLO can get back on track now after falling early on his return to action at Leopardstown last month. The four-time Grade 1 winner was making his first start since last April then, having chased home Jonbon in the Celebration Chase at Sandown when last seen. He should be too classy for these rivals now. Stablemate Grangeclare West ran a cracker when second in the Irish Gold Cup last time but this trip looks well short of his optimum. The other Willie Mullins-trained runner, Gentleman de Mee, was well beaten in the race won by Solness at Leopardstown but could be the one to chase home the selection now.
