FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up in the corresponding race last year, JACKSON LAMB can go one better. Having landed a Downpatrick bumper on his seasonal reappearance 12 months ago, it is surely significant that trainer John McConnell has elected to keep the six-year-old fresh for this contest. Connections have also resisted the temptation to resume hurdling, another indication that they must feel the gelding is capable of further success in this sphere. Kilbeggan winner Minella Emperor has every chance of confirming that form with runner-up Stede Bonnet. The latter, who went on to land his bumper at Clonmel last time, was beaten cosily by the Emmet Mullins-trained six-year-old. Noble Name is also not without her chance, having slipped up early last time.
