FormscanBy Alan Magee - TAKARENGO has won four times on the Flat including a charity race at the Curragh last summer and gained his sole hurdle success in a maiden at this venue. The Tom Mullins-trained gelding has shaped well on his latest two starts in competitive three-mile handicaps and this trip should prove ideal. Lucky Max ran a cracker on his penultimate start over this trip at Naas while All Those Years won over two miles on testing ground on this card last year and market support would be significant after a six-month break. Rodaniche exited early on his reappearance at Navan, while Jiving Jerry has a chance on the pick of his form.
