FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MY SISTER SARAH was runner-up in this last year after running on the Flat earlier in the week and she’s had a similar preparation this time around. She finished behind Litterale Ci and Lynwood Gold when sixth in the amateur handicap on Monday but can turn around the form with those rivals back over flights. Paul Townend prefers Royal Ascot winner Stratum but his last few efforts over hurdles haven’t been great, while Willie Mullin’s other runners, Jazzaway and the long absent French Made, are both taking a big step up in distance. Decor Irlandais has plenty of weight but his Grade 1 fourth to Thyme Hill at Aintree brings him into the argument, while Tronador won a handicap at that Grand National meeting and warmed up for this with a nice run on the level at Killarney.%0A%0A
