FormscanBy Alan Magee - SPARE BRAKES gets the vote. Robert Tyner’s charge has gained all four previous wins on testing ground over similar trips to this and, while no match for the easy winner over hurdles at Punchestown last time, had the remainder of the 13-runner field well strung out behind. Conright Boy has a similar profile mixing it between hurdles and fences and shaped well in a controversial handicap hurdle at Naas last Sunday. Dakota Moirette is generally a consistent sort but is on a long losing run, while Lacken Bridge is without a run in nearly a year. Kilkeaskins First ran well in a handicap hurdle here last month and appears the pick of the remainder with Robbie Power an interesting booking.
