FormscanBy Michael Graham - CHARMING FORTUNE ran well for a long way before dropping to third on racecourse debut in a bumper at Navan. He is entitled to come on from that run as he was last seen in a point-to-point almost 10 months before that. Gavin Cromwell is firing in plenty of winners and this horse will know his job on his first go over hurdles. Yeats Star sets a fair standard as he has been placed in his last couple of maiden hurdles in September. He came in third over course and distance and got close to the breakthrough when just beaten by a neck in Roscommon. Musta Lovea Lovea holds a rating of 111 and gets first-time blinkers. He could relish this company. Figurehead was a place behind Yeats Star in fourth at this venue.
