FormscanBy Gary Carson - FIGHTING FIT is indeed that and his race fitness could prove the difference here. The Philip Dempsey-trained gelding confirmed Galway form over Barnacullia with a convincing success at Listowel last month and the eight-year-old has returned in great heart after his form tailed off a bit last season. He went up 10lb for his latest win but may be able to complete the hat-trick. Indiana Jones is a classy performer on his day and the top-weight could be the danger on his return. He was last seen finishing third in top level company at Punchestown and was also a Grade 3 winner last season. Mark Walsh takes the ride on Cayd Boy, owned like the selection by JP McManus. He is a smart performer on his day and also has to be considered in this.
