FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A maiden winner at Navan in September, ECCLESIASTICAL has made a good start to his 4-year-old season and can progress again. Second here in January, he had Big Gossey back in fourth when winning a shade cosily last time over this trip and a 5lb rise looks fair. Big Gossey is up the same amount for winning over a furlong further next time but has plenty of form over the minimum distance as well. Topweight Arcanears would prefer 6f and might come on for this first start in over four months, but Mrs Bouquet won for the first time in Ireland over course and distance in November and may be able to get into contention.
