FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CAPODANNO was pulled up in April's Aintree National but should be ready on reappearance. Beaten eight lengths by stablemate Haut En Couleurs at Gowran in February, the selection is now 9lb better off and being a previous Grade 1 winner, possesses slightly more ability. Haut En Couleurs lacks a gear to be a top performer but was only six lengths away from giving Willie Mullins a first Cheltenham festival handicap chase win in March. He has course form – albeit when a final-fence faller in January, but a reproduction of that Grade 2 form should see him involved. Janidil, another stablemate, beat Haut En Couleurs 1.25 lengths in February and while race-fit, is 12lb worse off and wears a first-time tongue-tie. French Dynamite has a little to find with Haut En Coueleurs on that January course form although is 3lb better off. Farouk D'alene returned from 613 days off when falling at the first in the Troytown and is possibly best watched, despite being a dual Grade 2 winner. James Du Berlais, under his owners' retained jockey, was Grade 1-placed in April and holds Classic Getaway on that form.
