FormscanBy Gary Carson - Gordon Elliott has won four of the last eight runnings of this race and BLEU DE VASSY can enhance that record. The Cokoriko gelding had some strong bumper form and made a stunning start to his hurdling career with a wide margin win at Fairyhouse last month. He will get further than this in time but looks to have the class to score at this trip. The well-bred Mywayofthinkin won his maiden hurdle at Punchestown in fine style and is open to plenty of improvement. He could be a danger. Mr Percy made up for unseating early first time over jumps with a good win at Limerick. He's another for the shortlist.
