FormscanBy Mark Nunan - WHISKEYWEALTH was a maiden hurdle winner at Clonmel last season and has garnered plenty of experience over the larger obstacles. Third in three of his seven chase starts, he has bumped into some useful types and his latest run at Clonmel should have left him spot-on for this. He can race handily and won't mind the ground. Peckham Springs is a dual hurdles winner who was a place behind Soloman Lane in a Thurles handicap a fortnight ago. He gets a fair pull at the weights with that rival and can turn around the form at this shorter trip. Soloman Lane was previously third over 2m4f at Naas. He's lightly-raced for his age and is open to improvement but this trip might be a bit sharp for him. Joeswayornoway was third over course and distance in October after winning a handicap at Killarney. She's back from a break and may not want the ground as testing as this. %0A
