FormscanBy Stuart Howden - ACLASS went close on the Thyestes Chase card at Gowran in January and further advertised his claims when reverting to hurdles over this trip at the same venue earlier this month. The topweight is now fitted with cheekpieces for the first time and gets the vote over Oogum Boogum who has been placed on two of his latest three starts including behind the progressive Hitthehayson at Downpatrick. Backinabit made a pleasing start for Ross O’Sullivan when finishing well over 2m at Roscommon while Hob’s Angel, a bit unlucky at Thurles recently, and Blossom De Mai are others to consider.
