FormscanBy Tom Weekes - VERY EXCELLENT can make a winning return here. He was a useful flat performer, has shown good hurdles ability and while well enough held on his latest run at Leopardstown last Christmas, this is a drop down in grade and he could take plenty beating. Oak Park does have recent form to his name and also holds Top Line Tommy by 1.25L on a previous meeting on new year's eve and both horses can get involved the business end (Top Line Tommy was well beaten by the selection last October but is better than that showing). Pepper'n Salt was well held on his latest hurdles outing in January but this is a lesser level and he could go well today, representing a yard which targets this fixture. Tham Luang showed some bits of useful form on the flat and ran a good race at Tipperary recently, finishing in front of Soloheadbeag. %0A
