FormscanBy Michael Graham - RIAAN is of interest on chasing debut. This six-year-old gelding won twice over hurdles at Cork and Thurles and is related to a five-time winner over fences, so should have a future in this sphere. Decent ground holds no fears for him. The 129-rated Percy Warner is entitled to be well in the mix. He has been off since coming home sixth in a Grade B novice handicap chase at Navan in March and, prior to that, faced some tough tasks in beginners' chases. Although he has been extensively campaigned on slower ground, he won his point-to-point on good to yielding going. He has also won twice over hurdles. Rexem was pitched into graded company after winning a couple of hurdle races and adds plenty to this race.
