Soft To Heavy, (Heavy In Places)

Formscan By Thomas Weekes - UNIKA LA RECONCE can land this interesting event following a good winning Irish debut at Thurles. The runner-up then, Speckled Wood, has since won well and the selection looks a fair type. There are a few dangers though with Anonis likely to be thereabouts. He fell early on in a Grade 1 latest but has shown good form prior to that. Davy Russell has sided with Gigginstown's giant Rye Martini who looked a horse with a future as a chaser when last seen at Tipperary last October. The long layoff is a concern though while head-strong Rathlin, who reverts to hurdles here, will blaze along in front but needs to recapture his best form to win. %0A
