FormscanBy John O'Riordan - With plenty of chat about both the runner-up and third placed horse, the bumper SPINNINGAYARN won at Navan is likely to have been well above average. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding showed real battling qualities to get back up close home to edge the verdict on that occasion. By Order Of St George, the five-year-old can book his Cheltenham ticket here by maintaining his unbeaten record. I'll Sort That benefited from a spin over hurdles when landing a Fairyhouse bumper on his second start. Although more is required now, the gelding is open to improvement. Strong Link will need to step up on previous efforts but has crucial race experience which should stand to him against more unexposed opposition in this contest.
