FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A half-brother to a Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner, PARKGARVE can make the breakthrough here. Almost certainly capable of better than he has shown to date, the Ian Donoghue-trained five-year-old was nicely supported prior to unseating at Ballinrobe last time. Given that that was only his second start in a handicap, the gelding should be open to more improvement. Tried over a variety of different trips, this intermediate distance on a stiff track could prove his optimum. Freddie Robdal is probably a better chaser but has to be respected off a 17lb lower mark back over flights. Wing Back is one that could step up on his moderate recent efforts at some point.
