FormscanBy Gary Carson - All eyes here will be on the little superstar Tiger Roll as he bids to repeat last year's victory in this race. Gordon Elliott has been at pains to state that he will need the run badly here after meeting with a setback early this season and plenty of improvement is expected from the 10-year-old. Last year though his trainer felt he wouldn't be fit enough either and he ran out an impressive winner so it's hard to discount the dual Grand National winner. He does face a bit of a tougher task this time though as he has to give weight away to all his rivals in the Grade 2 contest. The one that catches the eye is the progressive KILFENORA who has won two competitive handicaps this season in very cosy fashion. The latest of those came over slightly shorter here last month and the handicapper stuck him up 9lb for that to put him on a mark of 152. He looks the pick at the weights now with ground and trip to suit. Magic Of Light, second to Tiger Roll in last year's Grand National, is another notable runner. She was good when taking a Grade 2 mares hurdle over in Ascot last month and getting weight from all the others here she has to be given serious consideration. Darasso is due to run at Gowran on Saturday and would be unlikely to turn out again if he runs his race there.
