FormscanBy Gary Carson - Only five go to post but it's a hot little race and WATCH HOUSE CROSS can repeat his course victory last month. Henry de Bromhead's charge had been a bit disappointing when tried over fences last year but recorded a confidence boosting win here last time and can build on that. Saldier was a bit laboured at Killarney last time but his class came through at the end as he edged a narrow verdict over Vina Ardanza. He was demoted at an appeal having hampered his rival at the last. He is a big player here but doesn't totally convince over fences. Lieutenant Highway won a three-runner contest at Roscommon recently and this will be tougher but he has to be respected.
