FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - HASHTAG PRETENDER (1) should be taking this contest if he has recovered from his recent fall at Punchestown. Barry Connell's charge was placed on his first two starts over fences last year%3B however, the lightly raced nine-year-old fell too early last time out to evaluate that performance. Rated 124, the son of Great Pretender shouldn't have to improve much on his best form to prevail. Impero was a fair performer over hurdles, but his two chase runs have been underwhelming. Jack Kennedy's booking is noteworthy, though handicaps could be the aim in the future. Killeemore Lad may find this trip on the sharp side but he was running well before falling last time and now has Darragh O'Keefe onboard.
