FormscanBy Gary Carson - Obviously there will be plenty of attention on Tiger Roll here as he bids to use this as a prep for Cheltenham again. It would be great to see the dual Grand National winner run a big race and show some of his old spark but there has to be a question mark hanging over him given his poor run in the cross country at Cheltenham in November. He was reportedly lame after that so will hopefully leave the run behind. Betting wise stable-mate FURY ROAD looks the one to side with. He was a touch below par at Leopardstown over Christmas having been a good winner on his return at Punchestown. This course may suit better now and he was a very easy winner on his sole outing here last season. French Dynamite wasn't far behind the selection at Leopardstown last time and could be a danger now getting a 5lb pull.
