FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WHO'S HOUDINI represents an in-form yard. An unlucky last-fence faller for Pat Doyle when clear in an April point-to-point, he caught the eye recently at Tramore, is sure to improve and is ideally suited by trip and good ground. Eco Pete carries a winners' penalty but ran well over course and ten yards further in July. His bumper form was useful but was beaten by a hanging winner in last month's race. Four year old Wee Willie Nail is useful but his recent course run was a little disappointing and now steps up in distance. Desertmore House is interesting on hurdles debut having being owner-ridden in bumpers. He notably, won a point-to-point on debut last November and should be well suited by today's distance. Three-time flat winner Blackstone Cliff was well beaten on recent hurdles debut.
