MARCO DU SEUIL, a Grade 3 winner on his sole outing in bumpers, shaped encouragingly sent hurdling when runner-up in a 2m maiden at Ballinrobe in May and is taken to go one better with improvement on the cards. Mailloche found only one too good in a juvenile hurdle at Auteuil a year ago and surely has more improvement in him having joined Willie Mullins. Bunker Buster was sent off a well-backed favourite when unseating at the first on his recent Gowran hurdling debut and he retains potential.
