FormscanBy Alan Magee - GALE FORCE JET has won three times between the flags and had Haggard 12 lengths behind in second when recording an impressive win at Monksgrange last month. Last Round won a point-to-point at Tinahely in January and has been placed twice since in hunter chases. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding had Ta Se Rua nearly four lengths behind at Thurles and may be suited by this shorter trip after again taking third spot at Downpatrick. Cold Old Fire has won two point-to-points this year but was left to come home alone at Knockanohill last time.
