Formscan By John O'Riordan - Runner-up in this race 12 months ago, TALK IN THE PARK(6) can go one better. A previous winner at this meeting over hurdles, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding is locally owned and will almost certainly have been campaigned with this race in mind. Having acquired plenty of chasing experience since his agonising defeat last year, the eight-year-old should go very close. With an official rating of 126, the Willie Mullins-trained Ocean Des Mottes sets the standard. Although pulled up when last seen, his previous form was strong enough for a race of this nature. Wexford runner-up Mickie Angel also has to be respected.
