Formscan By Alan Magee - KAROLINE BANBOU showed smart form in French bumpers winning a Grade 3 and filling the runner-up spot in a Grade 1 event. The daughter of No Risk At All was sent off a short-priced favourite when switched to hurdles by current connections at Naas last month and was caught close home by stablemate Baby Kate. She should benefit from that outing and hopefully will jump a bit slicker as well. Pour Les Filles is the obvious threat. The point-to-point winner has been lightly raced since taking a Leopardstown bumper on his debut under Rules over two years ago and was placed on both hurdle outings last term. Milo Miller and Putapoundinthejar may prove the pick of the remainder.
