FormscanBy Michael Graham - EL FABIOLO, who has so much class, has to be given maximum respect back over the smaller obstacles. He's returning to action having fallen in three of his last four high-class chases and should enjoy this assignment. He's two from three in Punchestown including in a novice hurdle. A spin on the Flat at Dundalk last month ought to have Ballyadam 'match fit' for this contest. He was placed in the last two renewals of the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and looks a big player. Glen Kiln is pitching for a cheque, while Martin Brassil's French-import Ain't Got Wings is worth a market check. Spillane's Tower should come on from an unplaced effort on seasonal reappearance in Naas.
