Going - Soft to Heavy (heavy in places on x-country). Overcast

Formscan By Michael Graham - LUMIERE DU LARGE could be worth chancing on handicap debut. She had useful form in her native France and was tried in Grade One company at Cheltenham and Punchestown on her first couple of starts for Willie Mullins. She was unplaced on both occasions and finished fourth in a maiden hurdle at Cork in December, but the suspicion is that there is more to come from her. The handicapper didn't miss Needs Must's victory in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse and he looks a big player despite carrying top-weight. Lough Nigara was a ready winner over further at this track so could be lively off a handy weight, while Take Stock and Mojoe are others eyeing prize money.
