Formscan  - Mahler Mission progressed well over hurdles last season, taking the River Don at Doncaster before ending his season with a Listed success at Perth. He also contested the Albert Bartlett, when not disgraced in seventh, and is fancied to improve further over the larger obstacles. That said, his main rivals all have the benefit of a recent run and the vote goes to LIFE IN THE PARK. Henry de Bromhead's representative took a big step forward in the spring when following up a maiden hurdle success at Tramore with victory in a competitive Punchestown handicap, and made the perfect start over fences at Listowel in September. The step up to 3m is unlikely to faze him, while Chemical Energy, also a winner on his sole outing this season at Listowel, is feared most of the remainder.
