Formscan By John O'Riordan - STATE PENSION(4) can strike here on just his second start over flights. Third at Navan on his recent jumping debut, the David Harry Kelly trained gelding shaped with distinct promise on that occasion. A former bumper winner, the son of Diamond Boy boasts some strong winter form which stands out in this company. He should be good enough to win before having his sights raised in the coming months. Crystal Mariner finished behind the selection at Navan last time but a bad mistake two out all but ended his chances. Placed on his previous two starts, the Sea The Stars gelding should go close. Farney Bridge, who ran well when fourth at Listowel recently, is another that enters calculations.

Quotes on State Pension (IRE)
He went to Listowel and he had never been off the bridle before. The track was sharp there and was probably too sharp again for him today. . Adam said after Listowel, the bigger the track, the better he’ll be. I think he’s a very good horse. We thought we’d have him sold after Listowel, it was a perfect opportunity after being beaten a nose, but nothing came from it. He’s for sale. He’s only starting. We’ve thought a lot of him for a while. Every pensioner in the country will be after backing him!
