Formscan - SPANISH DARLING notched up a brace of wins between the flags earlier this year and opened his account under Rules with a bumper success here last month. The five-year-old faces some intriguing opponents on his hurdling bow, but he doesn't look out of his depth and might be good enough to triumph again. Lexington Wood and Yeld To Call make plenty of appeal and so does Punchestown bumper third Cowboy Casanova, while it would be unwise to dismiss Northern Olympian given the yard he represents.
