FormscanBy Gary Carson - HORANTZAU D'AIRY has to overcome a long absence but it would be no surprise if he was good enough to win this on his return. The French-bred gelding made one start for Willie Mullins at Leopardstown over Christmas 2021 when chasing home Howyabud in a decent maiden hurdle which has worked out pretty well. He was a short price that day having won his only start on the Flat in his native land. Firm Footings has been knocking on the door and looks an obvious danger. The Walk In The Park gelding has been placed in his three outings over timber this season. Gordon Elliott also saddles point-to-point winner Zefiro Dodville and market moves for him would be interesting.
