Formscan By Gary Carson - HORANTZAU D'AIRY could be another smart French recruit for Willie Mullins and Rich Ricci. The Legolas gelding was green on his sole start in a French bumper but showed a nice turn of foot close home to get the job done. There should be plenty of improvement to come from him and he is sure to be well schooled for his jumping debut. Roaring Potter chased home the classy filly Grangee on his racecourse debut at Fairyhouse late last month. He didn't land a blow on the easy winner then but it was a promising effort and with that run under his belt he could be a big player now. Life In The Park was unlucky not to win a point-to-point, falling at the last when clear, and shaped nicely on his racecourse debut when third to Freedom To Dream at Punchestown last month. He is another potential improver to note.
