FormscanBy Alan Magee - MY GREAT MATE (4) won twice over hurdles last year including over an extended 2m4f at Galway and has kept some good company since switched to fences including when third behind Frankie John at the Galway Festival this summer. Point-to-point winner Affinity Rock has taken well to fences this year and is proven over this trip, while Chanceawetmorning has won three times over hurdles since joining Gordon Elliott this year and is an interesting recruit to fences. Moonovercloon was just beaten in the Galway Blazers in 2024 and placed in the Midlands National here last year but has been generally disappointing since.
