FormscanBy John O'Riordan - It is surely significant that Willie Mullins runs just SPANISH HARLEM in one of the bigger races of the summer. Fourth in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown in April, the seven-year-old registered a first win over fences when reverting to novice company at Punchestown last month. The fact that the champion trainer has elected to run only the one horse here suggests that connections must feel the gelding is well handicapped. A winner over hurdles here earlier in his career, Amirite was runner-up in this contest last year and Henry De Bromhead is sure to have targeted a repeat bid with the nine-year-old. Lightly-raced chaser Buddy One is very interesting on his handicap chase debut.
