FormscanBy Shane Redmond - JACOVEC CAVERN ran out a clearcut winner of the Adare Manor Opportunity Final Handicap Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival and can add to his tally. He backed up that taking performance when finishing second to Billy Lee Swagger in a valuable handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe and clearly arrives here in the best of form. Toll Stone was the beaten favourite in that same race at Ballinrobe but he's better judged on his run, also behind Jacovec Cavern, at Punchestown in April. He might be a bigger danger than the likes of top-weight Encanto Bruno or Cobra Queen who goes back over hurdles after being pulled-up in the Mayo National Handicap Chase last time.
