FormscanBy Stuart Howden - DEISE CRYSTAL easily ran his best race when second to Mo Ghille Mar over this course and distance earlier this month and perhaps the five-year-old can go a place better to win this. He couldn't peg back the front-running winner that day but stuck to his task well from the final hurdle, suggesting that a break-through success is not too far away. Bella Union is chasing a hat-trick of wins but he was hit with an 8lb rise in the ratings following a narrow win at Down Royal and has it all to do now. His stable-mate Fine Print has yet to win over hurdles but he could be more of a danger now on the back of a couple of decent efforts on the Flat at Wolverhampton.
