Formscan - Backmersackme caught the eye when runner-up here in October and came good when landing a valuable prize at the Dublin Racing Festival. This appears to have been the long-term plan, although the extra distance isn't guaranteed to suit. Newton Tornado booked his place with an impressive victory at Doncaster in January and is capable of further progression after a 6lb rise. Wade Out sports first-time cheekpieces, which will need to assist Sean Bowen, but he is respected up in trip, while Holloway Queen would be a massive player if replicating her impressive Newbury success. Paul Nolan is no stranger to lining one up for this meeting and ICEBERG THEORY makes plenty of appeal. The seven-year-old won a handicap in fine style at Cork in November and shapes as though a staying test will bring out the very best in him.
