Formscan By Michael Graham - HOUNDSWORTH (2) was a winner of a big-field handicap-hurdle at Cork in April which gives him a fair chance for a stable which is back among the winners. He performs best on better ground which he is due to encounter. Le Diablo is a significant threat as he bounced back to form with a second place in Wexford at the start of the month. JJ Slevin, who has secured a victory in Clonmel in addition to that placed effort in Wexford on him, retains the ride. Doctor Confusion hasn't been seen for almost a year but is lightly raced and represents a strong stable, while Max Meridius has a shot at prize money.
