FormscanBy Alan Magee - MOON OVER GERMANY has gained both victories to-date with plenty of cut in the ground, notably when prominent throughout to land the Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree this spring. The eight-year-old gelding would obviously appreciate any further rain but comes here fresh having last appeared at the Punchestown Festival, and riding arrangements suggest he is preferred to Ordinary World. The latter is on a long losing run but has generally kept the best of company including when second to Min last term in the Ladbrokes Dublin Chase. Listen Dear completed a six-timer over hurdles and fences when landing a Grade 3 mares’ novice chase at Cork just before Christmas in 2016. She was sidelined for well over a year before a sequence of second places last year, and should benefit from a recent outing on the Flat at Tramore. The last time The West’s Awake ran over this trip he scored at Punchestown in May. Things haven’t gone to plan since although a line can be put through his recent outing at Killarney where the saddle slipped.
