FormscanBy Gary Carson - LORD ROYAL looked set to collect on his chasing debut at Thurles last month until crashing out at the second last. He had jumped well until getting it all wrong at the penultimate fence and paying the price. The French-import had looked an exciting prospect when winning by a wide margin over hurdles at Clonmel back in January and although turned over next time it was still a promising effort. He could make into a smart novice chaser. Sempo is an interesting rival making his first outing over the larger obstacles. He has shown a high level of ability both in bumpers and over hurdles and makes his first appearance since finishing sixth in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham in March. Longhouse Poet already has a couple of outings over fences and it was a solid effort to chase home Janidil at Naas last time. He may need further than this to be seen at his best.%0A
