MARCO DU SEUIL (6) is a former French G3 bumper winner who has found the frame in a pair of maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott. Backed into favourite on both those occasions and looks all set to get off the mark third-up. MAILLOCHE (5) placed on only hurdling start in France around this time last year. Tongue-tied on first outing for the Willie Mullins stable today. Betting can guide on return from a year. BACHARACH (2) reappears from a short break and makes plenty of appeal on hurdling bow with in-form Keith Donoghue up top. SIERRASCOPE (9) is another to note on hurdling debut and warrants a market check.
