FormscanBy Gary Carson - An open looking contest and RED GERRY may prove the pick after his cosy win at Punchestown last month. He seemed to appreciate stepping back up to this two-and-a-half mile trip then and won with a nice bit in hand so may be able to defy a 9lb hike now. JP McManus has four representatives and Mark Walsh rides top-weight Any Second Now. He is 12lb well in compared to his chase rating and could run a big race on his return to action. Wadiyathink Now is two from two on completed starts since joining Gavin Cromwell and looks an improving mare. She got 12lb for her win at Fairyhouse last time and takes a fair jump in grade now.
