FormscanBy Michael Graham - GIN TONIC represents an in-form stable and this is a good trip for him. He won his maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Wexford in October and the runner-up has done plenty for the form in landing a maiden at Naas before finishing a close fourth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham. Welonlyhavedone is a strong-travelling sort who should be involved at the business end with a rating of 130. Murat may have been a fortunate winner of a Leopardstown maiden hurdle over Christmas, however, he did show battling qualities which will stand to him up in trip. Timeless Treaty and Sunny South West will have their supporters in a competitive heat.
