Formscan By Alan Magee - CHAMP KIELY won a Grade 1 over hurdles and, following a lengthy absence, has taken well to fences this season. He won in good style over an extended 2m5f here on New Year’s Day and readily justified short odds in a Grade 3 at Navan last time. Riding arrangements suggest he’s preferred of Willie Mullins’ trio, although Ile Atlantique had Firefox five lengths behind when landing a Grade 2 at Naas in January while Spindleberry also merits respect on her defeat of Bioluminescence over a longer trip here in February. Down Memory Lane made a bad mistake at the last when second to Lecky Watson over 2m3f at Punchestown and that form has been well advertised since.
