FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This looks a very open contest and a case can be made for practically every runner. An old favourite of mine SLIEVEARDAGH gets the vote. The Edward O'Grady trained eight time winner was very disappointing on his last start at Galway but he is much better than that and he is given a chance to make amends. The son of King's Theatre has been off the track for 119 days and hopefully that break will have revitalised him. Lead Kindly Light is given second preference. The Sean Byrne trained mare won two handicap chases last season but then fell on her next start at Gowran before disappointed on her next four outings. She put in a much improved performance last time out at Navan when finishing second in a hurdle behind Misca Musca and a good run can be expected here from the daughter of Beneficial. Sumkindasuprstar is another to consider while Imperial Shabra has solid each-way claims with Ryan Treacy taking a valuable seven pounds off.
