FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BEST BEHAVIOR is on a nice racing weight and a chance is taken that his jumping holds up in this competitive handicap. He won twice over fences last season and, after a couple of subsequent falls, has been running respectably over hurdles. With confidence restored, he can go well for an in-form stable. Class Conti and stablemate Saturnas both ran well in the Thyestes in January and are respected but have plenty of weight. Mark Walsh has plumped for Ten Ten from the half-dozen J.P. McManus runners. This one might build on a pleasing run over hurdles last time but is unproven over the trip, whereas consistent veteran Scoir Mear came home well over shorter at Leopardstown and will enjoy the return to three miles. Atlantic Shore would be a leading contender but is declared to run at Navan on Saturday.
