Formscan - Il Ridoto landed the corresponding event off 1lb lower 12 months ago and he merits respect, while Panic Attack ended last season with a close-up second over hurdles at Warwick. The nine-year-old, who is two from five over fences, is relatively unexposed and is one to keep on the right side of this term. That being said, Henry de Bromhead has made a fine start to the new season and COMING UP EASY could represent some value. An easy winner of a Listed handicap at Killarney in August, completing a hat-trick in the process, there could be a lot more to come. Others to note include Conyers Hill and Vincenzo.
