FormscanBy Mark Nunan - The outcome hinges on whether last season's wide-margin Gold Cup winner A Plus Tard is back to his best after his disappointing run at Haydock which was the first time he's ever finished out of the first three. Henry de Bromhead's star won this two years ago and was touched off by Galvin in last year's renewal. If he's over whatever was ailing him last time, his form is on another level. However, given the doubts raised by his reappearance run, he is taken on with CONFLATED who shaped like he needed the run when third to King George flop Envoi Allen at Down Royal. Jack Kennedy's mount won the Irish Gold Cup here in February and proved that wasn't a fluke when running well at Cheltenham and Aintree later in the spring. Down Royal runner-up Kemboy is another former winner in the line-up but is rising eleven and better each-way value may lie with Paddy Power runner-up French Dynamite and Fury Road who was a Grade 1 novice winner over course and distance a year ago.%0A
