FormscanBy Gary Carson - JUNGLE PROSE goes from strength to strength and may be able to strike again. He won well over two-miles-six here three weeks ago and stays really well so may be actually better suited by stepping back up to this marathon trip. The mare Ballyshannon Rose looks on a nice mark over timber and Cian Cullinan takes off a useful 7lb as well. She ran well over timber on her penultimate start when chasing home French Dynamite at Thurles and could be a big player here now. Grand National runner-up Any Second Now is another who is nicely treated over hurdles compared to his chase mark and it will be interesting to see how he fares on his return to action.
