FormscanBy Michael Graham - Marv Michael is the highest-rated horse in the field, but comes with risks as he hasn't been seen since August and this will be the deepest ground he has encountered. He was scratched from an engagement in Clonmel last year due to soft ground. Anthony McCann's horses have been picking up plenty of prize money and his STARMAN could go well. He was successful in a rated novice hurdle over CD in December and clearly relishes testing conditions. San Aer has faced tough tasks in maiden hurdles and catches the eye on handicap debut as a confirmed mudlark. He has four victories on the Flat in his locker. Carlas Big Jim delivered at Clonmel and Gowran Park, but then put in a below-par effort at Cork. Whether that was down to his revised mark remains to be seen, but he is another who won't be inconvenienced by this ground.
