FormscanBy Donal Murphy - SPELLACY'S CROSS is the suggestion in this weak affair. A runner-up three times this year, the Jimmy Barcoe-trained six-year-old certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. With seven wins between them, Romella and Baltinglass Hill are obvious dangers. While yet to win over fences, the Philip Rothwell-trained latter wasn't beaten far when fifth at Tramore on his latest start, and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end in a contest of this quality. Sent off favourite on his debut for Gavin Cromwell at Punchestown in January, Toon Town made a bad mistake three out and was soon pulled up. Now tried in a first time tongue-strap, it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Sea Of Doubt, Andyourbirdcansing and Applejack Poet are others capable of making an impact.
