FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GIGIPLAN TWO SEVEN might be able to get off the mark here in first-time cheek-pieces. He is a proven staying type who has shown useful form in better maidens this year and while much of his form has been on a reasonably sound surface, he has gone quite well on testing ground in point-to-points and is further helped by his rider's useful 5lbs claim. Melly And Me is a consistent and useful performer but there are some reservations surrounding today's race distance. He has proved his ability in some good maiden runs in recent months and while he has shown form at 2m4f in the past, he steps into the unknown today at this 2m6f trip on testing ground. He also turns out just two days after his Down Royal third placing on St Stephen's Day. Mason Jar's best form has also been on a sound surface and while he wasn't beaten too far at Punchestown latest, he now makes his jumps debut over a much longer trip.
