FormscanBy Tom Weekes - TIGRIS RIVER was a useful type on the flat and looks quite progressive over hurdles. He put in a good display to win at Galway latest with the form being subsequently boosted by the well beaten runner-up winning recently. He is improving and this looks a very suitable opportunity. Lean And Keen has proven himself a fair performer on good ground and is already a course and distance winner. He was hampered, albeit when beaten, on his latest hurdles start but a return to his best hurdles form would give him every chance, despite his 10lbs penalty here. Moonmeister also carries a 10lbs penalty and while pulled up latest, that was on an easy surface with fast ground a must for him. He is aided by his rider's 7lbs claim and should be capable of getting involved. Jesmond Lodge was an unlucky loser on her last hurdles start and while she hasn't much to find on adjusted ratings, this is a step up in class.
