FormscanBy Michael Graham - Connections of all four horses will believe they are in with a shout of landing this Listed prize. IDAS BOY has a more than decent record off a break which will help him as he returns to action after almost a year off. He wasn't at his best when last seen pulling up in a Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown but, prior to that, had been a close second in a Grade 3 novice chase in Cork. Joyeux Machin could be the one to profit if Idas Boy is rusty. He enjoys Wexford and delivered in a rated novice chase here in September. Senecia gave the odds-on favourite a fright in Grade 3 class at Punchestown this month and connections opt for this longer trip after that staying-on effort over an extended 2m2f. Effernock Fizz receives weight from her rivals and could be lively with 10st2lb on her back.
