FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Narrowly denied at Galway earlier this month, JUSTATAN(10) can go one better. A dual point-to-point winner, the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding ran his best race to date under Rules last time on his chasing debut. Stepping up in trip here should see the seven-year-old register a first victory on the track. Barry Stone looks a significant booking and the hint should be taken. A consistent sort in recent runs, Illtakehimmyself shouldn't be far away. Trainer Eric McNamara loves to have winners at this festival and the Jet Away gelding holds strong claims. Lightly raced over fences, Toor Khov is also worthy of serious consideration with leading amateur John Gleeson in the saddle.
