Formscan By Gary Carson - Quito De La Roque bounced back to form in the Kinloch Brae last time and probably appreciated the drop in grade. He may just have gotten things his own way up front then however and may have to find more to take this. Fellow Gigginstown gelding Roi Du Mee was on a roll, and was sent off favourite at Thurles, but had to play second fiddle. He could get closer now. PRINCE DE BEAUCHENE was a leading fancy for the Grand National last season until injury intervened. His prominence in the betting for Aintree last term came on the strength of an impressive performance in this event and he looks well up to this rating judged on that performance. He showed his well being when returning over hurdles at Limerick over Christmas and looks the one to beat. Seabass looked as good as ever on his return over timber at Fairyhouse and is another leading contender. He's only a couple of pounds off the others ratings wise and it wouldn't be a surprise if he had improvement in him.
