FormscanBy Michael Graham - CRASSUS has the beating of At War on their form at Punchestown. Crassus finished runner-up behind Duffle Coat (who has since gone in again) while At War was more than 35 lengths further back in eighth. In addition, Crassus was well clear of the third horse who then won well at Punchestown last Tuesday. At War has faced a tough task in his first couple of three-year-old hurdles when unplaced in the aforementioned race at Punchestown and third to Longclaw in Listowel. The winners of both of those races are more than promising types. The Listowel effort was certainly a step in the right direction, though, and he now sports a first-time hood. On Guard has to be respected on first start for Gordon Elliott having won on the Flat at Yarmouth for John Gosden. He was then thought good enough to run in the Group 2 Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot where he failed to land a blow.
