FormscanBy Gary Carson - Last year's winner FACE OFF comes into this off the back of a good run at the track 10 days ago and may be able to repeat her victory of 12 months ago. Charles O'Brien's charge stayed on nicely to chase home a well handicapped rival in Boughtinthedark last time and still looks on a competitive mark despite a 4lb rise. Limit Long also ran well well on his last visit, chasing home Illetas, and also commands respect off a 4lb higher mark. Tide Of Time beat recent Curragh winner Strong Johnson when last seen at Naas in November and while that rival has undoubtedly improved since it still looks a nice piece of form. The dual course and distance winner could be involved on his return despite a 8lb rise.
