FormscanBy Michael Graham - MONEY HEIST has claims on his first start for Gary McGill. He was formerly with Gavin Cromwell for whom he finished second in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at this track in April. He has winning form over this trip and enjoys cut in the ground. Sheriffhill has been placed in his last two handicap hurdles, competes off a light weight, and gets a first-time tongue-strap. Tsavo Park was backed ahead of his racecourse debut over further in Thurles, but finished adrift of the leaders in third. If he takes to this trip and deeper ground, he can have a say. Titanium hasn't much jumping experience but has a chance, while Marelly and Club Manager aren't out of contention.
