FormscanBy Tom Weekes - This is run at a Grade 1 for the first time following subsequent top level wins from previous winners Sir Des Champs (later second in the Cheltenham Gold Cup), 2016 winner Bellshill (winner of April's Punchestown Gold Cup), Outlander (2015) and Gilgamboa (2014). GETABIRD looks the one to beat this year despite having had a very in-and-out career thus far. GETABIRD disappointed badly in the Supreme Novices Hurdle and again in his initial run at the Punchestown festival (he was unfortunate there three days later) but he seemed back to his best when winning on chase debut at Punchestown recently and he looks the type who can build on that success and return to the once very promising horse he was. Interestingly, he beat Hardline by 1.25L when giving Hardline 7lbs in a bumper in January 2017. Hardline himself is very capable and was a fine winner at Grade 3 level latest. He should be able to give the selection plenty to worry about but might lack a gear to be top class. Jetz is another with very solid form to his name having finished third in the Drinmore Chase latest. He is clearly a high class horse who should also be able to get involved at the business end. Game Of War steps up from his beginners chase win at Thurles and probably needs to improve to win.
