FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - It might just be time for JACOVEC CAVERN to open his account over hurdles at the 14th attempt. This highly tried six-year-old once finished eighth in a Triumph Hurdle behind Lossiemouth and was also sent of 5/1JF for an English Cesarewitch. However, he has been out of form recently but a return to his Cork run in March where he fell when six lengths clear at the last off this mark would leave him with a proper chance here for trainer Paul Hennessey. Moonovercloon is an admirable performer and rates as a decent each way choice, but he does need to retrieve some of his old mojo, such as when going down by a nose in the Galway Blazers. The unexposed entity, Timeless treaty brings a certain amount of intrigue on his handicap debut, but his relative inexperience may count against him.
