FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Despite having something to prove at this stage, WILLITGOAHEAD looks a class apart here. Third at the Cheltenham Festival last year, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has failed to reach those heights this term. However, the eight-year-old shaped with enough promise when second at Down Royal in December to suggest he should be good enough to land a race of this nature.
