FormscanBy Alan Magee - HE FITZ IN won over this trip at Navan last autumn and was subsequently in front when falling at the last over fences at Sligo. The selection has filled the runner-up spot on all three outings since including at this venue on testing ground. Seangoell won this race back in 2021 and while without a victory since, gave cause for optimism when beating all bar Scarbrook over a similar trip at Thurles last time with Winter Carnival close up in fourth. Captain Jimmy easily won over three miles at Punchestown early last year and is edging back down to a competitive mark, while others to consider include Le Fanu and Eddies Pride.
