FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ALPHA MALE routed the field to win last year's renewal and can follow up today. He was a useful enough performer in Britain when trained by Nicky Henderson in 2016/17 and has done well for his new connections, culminating in an easy 30L win in last year's renewal of this race. He has been well held on each of his last four hunter chase outings but drops in class for this and connections will have had this race in the forefront of their minds for some time. ALPHA MALE beat stablemate Change Your Story on their respective last runs at Down Royal and while Change Your Story is a dual point-to-point winner, will struggle to turn form today. Enniskillen began his Bishopscourt Cup odyssey back in the bygone era of 2012 and while now a 14yo, ran well enough when finishing fifth in his seventh run in the Ladies Cup on Tuesday and could reach the placings today. Tipp Away has shown some reasonable point-to-point form and comes here fit and well and can also get involved for the placings.
