Going - Good to Yielding, Yielding in places. Overcast

Formscan By Gary Carson - It's hard to oppose FACILE VEGA who looks head and shoulders the best bumper horse this term. He quickened away to beat American Mike in fine style at Cheltenham last month and should be able to confirm the placings with that rival. The ground will be a lot more lively now but Facile Vega had been very impressive on yielding at Leopardstown on his second start so looks versatile. American Mike is likely to be the one to chase him home again. The Mahler gelding ran a cracker himself at Cheltenham and is a high class prospect in his own right. Seabank Bistro also ran really well to finish fourth at Cheltenham and could be open to further improvement on just his third career outing.
