Formscan By Michael Graham - French-import FOU DE TOI merits maximum respect on Irish debut for Willie Mullins. His sole start in France saw him finish third in a conditions' hurdle at Auteuil in May 2024 and the two horses in front of him have won at Listed level since then. He holds an entry in the Grade One Turners Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Vitorio Piel is another French-bred gelding but he has had three runs in Ireland, all at Punchestown, where he landed a bumper and was runner-up in a maiden hurdle when last seen in November. That form brings him into contention. There was merit in Leni's Law's opening fourth at Fairyhouse and Puma's Dream's fourth in Naas.
