Formscan By Michael Graham - LEGIONNAIRE FOREZ, who was runner-up in a French bumper in November, is being quoted quoted for the Grade 1 JCB Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and looks a likely sort on Irish debut for Willie Mullins. Gordon Elliott takes the wraps off Shirocco gelding Good To Be Alive who is sure to be well schooled and starts off in a race lacking depth. Ex-Flat Sundance Sioux showed up nicely in fourth on hurdle bow at Punchestown, so he is in the hunt for a cheque. Imarajan is a recruit from the Flat to note after he kept on for second over a staying trip on his last start at the Curragh, while Hobart isn't out of it.
