Formscan  - Pour Les Filles got off the mark over timber at Downpatrick and backs up quickly considering his profile of appearing to need plenty of time between his races. With that in mind, it might pay to to follow MINELLA SUPREME. John McConnell has a fine record at the October meeting and the five-year-old made amends for falling on his hurdling bow when scoring at Kilbeggan. Conman John made a winning start to his hurdling career at Kelso and is expected to appreciate stepping up in trip. Keep an eye on Catchintsavo, who finished ahead of Conman John when third in a bumper at the Punchestown Festival.
