Formscan By Alan Magee - BEGORRA MAN ran a cracker on debut when keeping on into fifth behind the smart Kopek Des Bordes in a 23-runner maiden hurdle at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival. The Flemensfirth gelding should progress from that outing and gets the vote over Gameofinches who easily beat a couple of subsequent winners in a Dromahane point-to-point last November. Cosmos d’Ainay also won between the flags at Borris House, while Casterly Rock is another to consider after being beaten less than two lengths on his debut at Fairyhouse last month. Any market move for Rojuco Mac would be interesting.
