Formscan By Tom Weekes - Willie Mullins has the first and third reserves with Listed Hurdle-placed El Fabiolo and Hors Piste, runner-up in a January hurdle at Pau with another ex-French horse HENN SEE the selection. Seventh on bumper debut in November 2020, his only other run was when second at Auteuil in March. The winner then has since joined Paul Nicholls and while no star being rated 128, HENN SEE has proven form on testing ground and could be smart. Perceval Legallois is himself smart, having won his bumper impressively last January and has since been purchased by JP McManus. A big type who operates well on testing ground, he should run very well on hurdles debut. French-bred Happy Birthday debuts for leading connections in a heavy ground hurdle and will need to be smart to win. Itwasfate ran well at Cork 42 days ago and has place claims while Birdsandthebees is best watched on hurdles debut. Call Me Rocky, carrying a winners' penalty which is negated by his 7lb claimer, has shown some recent hurdles form while Viceregent has soft-ground winning flat form but is best watched on hurdles debut.
