FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Bidding for a fifth straight win since joining Ian Donoghue, reserve Small Town Hero could prove hard to beat if getting a run. Responsible for three of the 16 set to take part, Gordon Elliott looks to have a strong hand, with Jack Kennedy opting to partner UK import Onethreefivenotout. For a selection, CEANNDANA gets the nod. Narrowly beaten by Rising Dust at Punchestown on his latest start, the five-time winner should appreciate this drop in class, having finished down the field on his last try over fences in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen in July. Bidding to follow-up on recent wins, Nastya (first time tonguestrap) and Clonbury Bridge are sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist are Midnight Moonshine and the returning Brucejack.
