FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A recent winner at Punchestown, TUCKMILL(4) can follow up despite a 10lb rise. Trainer Peter Fahey has his string firing on all cylinders at present and the 10-year-old looked to have plenty in hand when scoring last time. Having been successful over fences off a similar mark in the past, the son of Court Cave has the ability to defy the weight rise. Granville Street, who was in decent form on the Flat when last seen, has to be of interest reverting to hurdles. Equipped with first-time blinkers, the Ciaran Murphy-trained gelding shouldn't be far away. A winner here over fences, West Of Carrig has to be respected off a 20lb lower hurdles mark.
