FormscanBy Donal Murphy - While they both failed to make an impact in the Galway Hurdle, DOWNMEXICOWAY and Addragoole look the ones to focus on, as they start off over the larger obstacles. The Henry de Bromhead-trained former won a point-to-point on debut when in the care of John Staunton and finished well ahead of his aforementioned rival at Ballybrit. Returning from a break, Hashtag Pretender is an interesting contender. A model of consistency, he made the breakthrough over flights at Gowran in October and had five subsequent winners behind. Despite the fact he was a well-beaten sixth on his first try over fences, Bright Legend still warrants respect, while three-time winner Tonaghneave Well is another that can't be dismissed.
