FormscanBy Michael Graham - BRAVE FORTUNE was placed in maiden hurdles at Thurles and Tipperary and on both occasions the form has been well franked. He holds solid claims for trainer Pat Doyle. It would be reasonable to assume that Frankel gelding Gaucher will appreciate this ground after finishing fourth on debut on testing going at Navan. Henry de Bromhead's Phoenix Belle should progress from an opening fourth over flights at Ballinrobe, while Donnie Devito is not without hope on hurdling debut for an in-form Ross O'Sullivan. He was a notable third in a bumper at Fairyhouse that was won by a subsequent Aintree Grade 1 novices' hurdle runner-up.
