FormscanBy Michael Graham - Connections reported that ADELA ICON didn't enjoy the testing ground in Punchestown, so she did well to shed her maiden tag. This ground is expected to suit her much better and improvement should be forthcoming on it. Shuffle The Deck carried a lofty reputation into a Grade 1 over course and distance in January, but was pulled up. He has winning form on better ground and a good performance looks more than likely. Casheldale Lad didn't get through testing going in Navan, but should be very much at home on this surface. Positive Energy was a rare National Hunt runner for Michael O'Callaghan in Navan and the four-year-old gelding put in a resolute display to take the honours.
