Cork Race 1 - Paddy Power From The Horse's Mouth Podcast Mdn Hurdle
MARCO DU SEUIL (6) is a former French G3 jumpers flat winner who made the frame in a pair of maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott. Backed into favourite on both those occasions and looks set to get off the mark third-up. MAILLOCHE (5) placed on only hurdling start in France around this time last year. Tongue-tied providing first outing for the Willie Mullins stable and betting may guide on return from a year. BACHARACH (2) reappears following a short break. Makes plenty of appeal delivering initial hurdle attempt with the in-form Keith Donoghue aboard. SIERRASCOPE (9) is another to note making hurdling debut and deserves a market check.

Having third race start. Was promising at first race start finished fourth of 19 starters at Punchestown on April 28 over 3319m, 10 len behind Abbeyglen with 71kg at $34. Returned from break finished third of 9 runners at Listowel on September 24 over 3218m, 7 len behind Berkstar carrying 74.5kg at $3. Can improve on first up performance. Back in good order and hard to beat again.
