FormscanBy Alan Magee - ASPIRE TOWER was a smart juvenile hurdler and has had a bit of a stop start career over fences including when placed behind Il Etait Temps. The selection opened his chasing account over course and distance last month and following a creditable fifth in a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival, appears the one to beat. Foxy Girl represents the same connections, and the quite lightly raced mare beat all bar favourite Olympic Man in a 2m4f Naas beginners chase on her penultimate start. Rockstown Girl has won twice over hurdles and appears best of the remainder.
