Formscan By Alan Magee - BALLYBURN and Firefox are two exciting bumper winners and together with Group 1 Flat winner Helvic Dream, make this a mouth-watering maiden hurdle. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding won his point-to-point in good style and impressed when scoring twice at Punchestown earlier this year including at the Festival meeting. Firefox caught the eye on debut over hurdles at Navan 12 months ago and has shown a high level of form in bumpers winning three times including on his reappearance at Down Royal last month. Helvic Dream won the Tattersalls Gold Cup back in 2021 and, while not at that level now, was second last time in a Listed race at the Curragh. Any support for newcomer Lehaunstown would be interesting.
