FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Strong-travelling FEU DU BRESIL is an enigma but had a veterinary excuse following last month's course defeat. Runner-up at Auteuil on his only French run before returning following a mammoth four-year absence last Christmas, he looked all over a winner here in January before fading quickly. However he returned 'showing signs of overheating and had a delayed recovery post race' and while not one to trust, has ability. Lightly-raced Gorgeous Suspect's form this season is a fraction below last term's level but has run with promise, wearing his customary hood. He is absent for 67 days but is suited by this distance and is ground-versatile. Point-to-point winner Kudasheva disappointed at Limerick but might be suited by a return to a sound surface. Clodders Dream showed ability at Punchestown but needs to improve to win while Captains Nephew has some bits of form.
