Race preview
FAN DE BLUES boasts plenty of experience having raced over both hurdles and fences in France, with his last couple of efforts in Listed handicaps at Auteuil setting a decent standard. The son of Poliglote has since joined Willie Mullins and the drop in class can see him off the mark. Ennemi Public improved considerably on what he achieved in bumpers when third on his hurdling debut at Clonmel and warrants a fair amount of respect along with Exceeded Brief, who was last seen finishing fifth to Klassical Dream at Leopardstown last December.
