FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HASTHING has failed to complete in his last two starts but has had a productive season. He has been gradually upped in distance this term and while yet to win beyond 2m6f, was running well before falling in Cheltenham’s N.H. Chase in March. He held just place-prospects then but the winner notably landed the subsequent Irish National. Answer To Kayf was well beaten at Cheltenham and while his form is mostly on testing ground, finished second on good-to-yielding at last year’s festival and today’s distance could bring about plenty improvement. Herakles Westwood finished seventh behind the selection at Cheltenham and stays well while The Short Go blundered at Cheltenham and likes good ground.
