FormscanBy Gary Carson - EASY GAME can bag another victory in this having won the Grade 2 prize in 2020. The eight-year-old has enjoyed a profitable campaign already, bagging four races, and he was impressive on his most recent win when scoring at Listowel. He beat stablemate Kemboy with ease that day and should be able to confirm that form over a trip that suits him better than his rival. Kemboy is entitled to improve a bit from that outing and could get close now. Willie Mullins also saddles Franco De Port in the two-and-a-half contest. He probably needs further too and makes his first start since finishing third in the three-mile-six Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris. Gordon Elliott runs both Battleoverdoyen and Hurricane Georgie for Pioneer Racing but they look to have a bit to find at the weights, as does the other runner in the field, Dollar Value.
