FormscanBy Gary Carson - These types races are perfect for a horse like TAIPAN, who has a lofty enough rating, and he looks like the one to beat. The Frankel gelding ran out a cosy winner of another conditions event over a mile-and-six at Killarney last time and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get another win under his belt. The 92-rated Female Soldier would appear to be the main danger on paper. She was fifth behind the selection last time and has a nice turnaround at the weights now. As well as getting a 10lb pull this time Adam Ryan takes a further 7lb off her back. Ace Aussie could be given a chance off his rating of 87 but hasn't been in great form over jumps in recent starts and has a bit to prove.
