FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A small field but a really good race. ELIMAY is well treated at the weights and can show the benefit of her comeback third at Aintree which got a form boost when the winner scored again during the week. The grey has a good strike rate over fences and her runs behind talented stablemates Allaho and Colreevy last term were excellent efforts. The Champion Chase winner Put The Kettle On will have plenty of supporters as she tries this longer trip. She’s been below-par the last twice but has to be greatly respected and has won at a lower level over 2m4f. Mount Ida can confirm Clonmel placings with Scarlet And Dove but was beaten by Elimay here in April and the selection is 9lb better off on this occasion.
