Formscan By Michael Graham - FOXY GIRL makes plenty of appeal. Her runner-up spot in a Listed fillies' hurdle race in her native France has been endorsed by the winner. Furthermore, her second place on Irish debut in Thurles at the start of the month can be marked up as the winner delivered again at the same track. He's Ultimate was the subject of positive comments from Gordon Elliott in a stable tour. He makes his track debut after finishing runner-up in a point-to-point. Royal Moon ran well in third at Clonmel and can build upon that. Benaud was more than decent on the Flat and there is still time for him to put it all together over hurdles. First-reserve In Excess would be a strong contender if getting a run. Willie Mullins' French import was second in a conditions' race on the Flat at Moulins on his sole start.
