FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HEY JOHNNY ran well on handicap debut and is proven on testing ground. A dual bumper winner, he returned to form when third at Punchestown and while 2lb higher, drops in grade and is ridden by a 7lb claimer. Downthecellar, rated 122 over fences, seems to be getting the hang of hurdles and comes here in good form but all his best form is on a sound surface. Lyla Garrity fell when disputing the lead at Limerick last November and while proven on soft, is long absent. Bite That, a half-brother to Might Bite, won on good ground in August while Marelly's improved Listowel runner-up effort was also on a sound surface. Barbaha Queen would also prefer a good ground while Lily Of Dromard has place claims. Little Mixup is long absent.
