FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Second in a similarly big field, and after a comparable lay-off, in last year’s renewal, SA FUREUR could go well here with his burden of top weight being lightened by a good 7lb-claiming amateur. A course winner off a higher chase rating on his next start, his form tailed off back over hurdles thereafter but he handles testing ground and may be able to stage a revival off a competitive mark. Arctic Lane displayed an awkward head carriage when a staying-on fourth at Galway but is, nonetheless, of interest under a very capable conditional rider. Kir looked a dour stayer when winning over 3m at Limerick and this will be a similar test of stamina on the prevailing ground. %0A%0A%0A%0A%0A%0A
