FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Irish Gold Cup winner EDWULF can get back to winning ways here as he bids to turn around placing at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day. A high class horse at his best, his form has been quite in-and-out over the years but he retains plenty of his old sparkle judged by his point-to-point win in October (when trained by Enda Bolger) and his Down Royal run in December. At Down Royal, he met trouble in-running before the second last and while beaten 4.5L, looks likely to improve from that effort and can turn form with winner Dylrow and runner-up Billaway. Both those horses were claimer ridden in Down Royal and while both are clearly capable types, Dylrow is now 7lbs worse off with EDWULF with Billaway, a capable and consistent hunter chaser but vulnerable to any smart hunters., 5lbs worse off. Val De Ferbet was a Graded winning chaser at his best and while not the force of old, wasn't beaten too far at Down Royal and can get involved today. Casey Jem makes his debut for Willie Mullins today and while pulled up in his last hunter chase appearance at Stratford in May, is better judged by his earlier wins (his Cork hunter chase win was quite taking) and he could play as part as a 6yo who can improve with age. Dual Foxhunters Chase winner Salsify won't be winning but has presumably been showing enthusiasm at home and will be a draw aged 15 for his fans.
