FormscanBy Donal Murphy - While not the most consistent, GRANPA GER has tonnes of experience and should appreciate a return to quick ground. Filling the runner-up spot for a third time on his penultimate start, he since failed to make an impact on yielding to soft at Killarney. Back in maiden company now and with Danny Mullins aboard, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Astelia, Faithful Follower and Cosmos D'ainay are the dangers. The Peter Fahey-trained former has finished second in two starts to date over flights, while a much improved performance can be expected from the Gordon Elliott-trained latter, with this one likely to step forward from a disappointing hurdles debut at Tipperary.
