FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DESIR DU LARGE was out of action for more than two years after winning a bumper at Fairyhouse but has returned with a couple of encouraging hurdles runs in Graded company. He was behind subsequent Grade One winners Echoes In Rain and Belfast Banter when third at Naas and although his run last time wasn’t as good, it still reads well in the context of maiden company. Useful handicapper Irish Poseidon was a promising fourth on his hurdling debut at Christmas and is a contender along with Downpatrick bumper winner Off Your Rocco. L’impertinent was placed in a hot maiden at Cork and gets a handy 8lbs from the main protagonists.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 12st Mares allowed 7lbs
