FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SILENT FLIGHT landed a gamble to win on his second run back following a long layoff, at Punchestown in January. He is 9lb higher but that form is quite strong, with the runner-up being an unexposed type and the third-placed horse winning subsequently. Maimie's Magic has won twice over hurdles in the UK and ran well over this distance at Navan recently. She mightn't be ahead of the handicapper but should run well. The Niffler disappointed when well backed on heavy ground at Clonmel last month but Jack Kennedy retains the ride. Veteran Father Jed is a nine-time winner and returns from a winter's break while Punchestown banks' winner Subset is best watched on reappearance, ahead of that upcoming festival.
