FormscanBy Gary Carson - SPILLANE'S TOWER is a nice sort and he might not be badly treated here of a mark of 126 on his handicap debut. The Walk In The Park gelding was narrowly denied by a smart sort in Imagine at Wexford last October and that rival ran a big race in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month. Jimmy Mangan's charge was a cosy winner of his maiden hurdle at Naas in February and looks open to further improvement. Lucky Max was narrowly denied in a competitive contest at Naas last month and has to be respected. He went up 4lb for his nose defeat to Carnfunnock and connections offset 2lb of that by putting up Corey McGivern this time. L'yser is another unexposed sort who has to come into calculations. He won a decent contest at Fairyhouse last time when the front two pulled well clear. Despite a 9lb hike he should be competitive again.
