FormscanBy Gary Carson - FERNS LOCK didn't give his true running at Cheltenham when getting worked up beforehand and doing too much throughout the race. This small field here will suit better and he's fancied to bounce back in a lesser contest. He had been impressive when winning at Thurles previously. Annamix's form can be a bit hit and miss but when he's on song he still retains plenty of ability. The Martaline gelding ran out a good winner of the Tetratema Cup at Gowran earlier in the month and is the big danger to the selection. Boss Robin was the game winner of a hunter chase at Thurles earlier in the month but this is a stiffer task now.
