Langdale Lane placed in a maiden at Naas when making his hurdling debut just before Christmas but stablemate L ANAMOUR (NAP) makes more appeal as he was having a first run under Rules when fourth in what looked an above-average contest at Punchestown in November. One Mill Harbour finished fourth here on the same day and is another likely improver with Lingfield third Halondo another with decent claims. Stamina may be an issue for miler Gainsbourg.
