FormscanBy Tom Weekes - JOHANNA YEATS has run just once over fences but is suited by soft ground and this distance. Well held on her latest run in May, she was previously in good form, finished second in a course and distance heavy-ground handicap hurdle in March and is now rated 3lb lower over fences than hurdles. Where's Bunny won here in September and while capable of completing a hat-trick, might prefer a sounder surface. Hilltop Supreme's wins have been over middle-distances and while out of form on his last runs, won here last December and is suited by heavy. Cottie's best form has been on a sound surface but is somewhat unexposed over fences while five-time winner Cluan Dara has been out of form. 19-race maiden Alexharwill is tried in a first-time tongue-tie while grand veteran Capture The Drama is 16lb out of the handicap.
