FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SAN AER can repeat last year's win in this race which was achieved on heavy ground. Tom Mullins' charge comes here in form after being placed in three of his last four starts and met trouble in running before finishing off well to be second at Leopardstown last time. Rhythm King, second in the nursery on this card a year ago, is another who goes well on testing ground and had Wrist Art back in third when scoring at Gowran. The latter seemed to find 7f too sharp on that occasion and may be able to reverse the form over this stiff mile. Rough And Tough is on a hat-trick after winning on successive days in Gowran earlier in the month. He's up in grade and down in trip which leaves him vulnerable but this improving three-year-old will handle conditions and has to be respected.
