FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A winner at the corresponding meeting last year, the Emmet Mullins-trained TOLL STONE looks to have been laid out for this race. Owned by the Mee family, the five-year-old ran a nice trial when fifth in a fiercely competitive handicap hurdle at Bellewstown earlier this month. Connections have resisted the temptation to ruin his mark on the Flat and, John Gleeson is a very significant booking in a race of this nature. Runner-up at the Curragh on his return to the level recently, the Willie Mullins-trained Too Bossy For Us is sure to be a major contender. Graded bumper and hurdle winner Familiar Dreams and the Joseph O'Brien-trained Comfort Zone are others with leading claims.
