FormscanBy Alan Magee - CAMPROND won twice earlier this season including a Grade 2 novice before finishing fourth in the valuable Greatwood Hurdle. The form of that race worked out very well since and connections elected to wait four months before returning to Cheltenham for the Coral Cup. However, heavy rain on the day didn’t play to his strengths although he still put up a creditable effort to again take minor honours. Fastorslow is an obvious threat. The lightly-raced gelding was produced in mint condition for the aforementioned Coral Cup when only just touched off by Commander Of Fleet, with the selection ten lengths adrift. Willie Mullins could have up to seven runners with riding arrangements suggesting Adamantly Chosen is preferred. Stablemate La Prima Donna finished strongly when beating all bar Glan at Fairyhouse recently and could progress further over this longer trip.
