FormscanBy John O'Riordan - BUDDY ONE might have too much class for this opposition. Rated 154 over hurdles, the Paul Gilligan trained eight-year-old is sure to be close to his peak with the festival just on the horizon. It would be no surprise to see the son of Sans Frontieres register a first Flat win at just the third time of asking. Recent Roscommon maiden hurdle winner Young Churchill is the obvious danger. Trainer Noel Meade has his string in excellent form and, the four-year-old sets the standard on his Flat form. Dual bumper winner Friary Road also holds his chance for the Ted Walsh stable.
