FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WE'LLHAVEWAN has a favourable rating having won a December Listed hurdle but hasn't a simple task. Paul Townend has flagged 2lb overweight having not ridden this light (at 10st2lb) since September 2020, and while 3lb out-of-the-handicap and lacking chasing experience, has 16lb in-hand on his 136-hurdles rating and is a heavy-ground stayer. Clonmeen beat a subsequent winner and today's rival Where It All Began into third in December. He competes from 9lb higher. Jack Kennedy rides at this minimum on Where It All Began, which boosted that Punchestown form when subsequently running well at Fairyhouse. Queen Jane was narrowly defeated by a subsequent Listed winner in December and while she hasn't raced beyond 2m5f, is very interesting. Recent hurdles winner Champange Platinum finished fourth from 5lb higher in last year's renewal, with today's rider claiming a further 5lb. Stormy Judge ran well under a 5lb claimer in the Thyestes while Street Value disappointed in that recent race. My Immortal debuts in a handicap chase. Any Second Now's recent form is poor while Baldur's Gate is 7lb 'wrong.'
