FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Following a hugely impressive win at Navan on his debut over fences, FINAL DEMAND can make it two-from-two. A dual Grade 1 winner over hurdles last season, the Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old is already viewed by many as one of the Irish bankers for the Cheltenham festival. It would be disappointing if he can't provide the champion trainer with a third straight win in this race. Stablemate Jimmy Du Seuil rates the biggest danger. Having carried a big weight to success in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham last season, the son of Galiway made the perfect start to life over fences at Fairyhouse last month. Gold Dancer can make it a clean sweep for Mullins.
