FormscanBy Mark Nunan - It looks a good opportunity for the Grade 2-winning hurdler DOMMAGE POUR TOI to get off the mark over fences at the sixth attempt. He’s had a couple of mishaps, but his second at Navan in December and his recent reappearance third to Polished Steel at Tipperary were solid efforts in the context of this race. Line Out (jumped right) was well behind the selection last time and should do a lot better going back right-handed (fair third at Thurles in January). Stacks Mountain unseated early on his recent chasing debut, but was no back number over hurdles and is a useful second string for Henry de Bromhead, while Lartigue Hurdle winner Razoul seems to have reached his limit over flights and is an interesting recruit to fences, albeit he’s certainly not bred for this discipline.
