FormscanBy Alan Magee - An intriguing beginners chase with a number of useful handicap hurdlers in the line-up and THATSY gets the vote. The point-to-point winner was competitive in valuable handicaps last season after winning his maiden at Navan and kept on well in the straight last time off a mark of 139 in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham. Ilikedwayurthinkin has a similar rating over hurdles as the selection and has shown an affinity for this venue in the past having won twice at the Festival meeting last year. He also looks the type that could prosper over fences and it will be fascinating to see how the market develops. Pakens Rock is another useful sort over hurdles and has gained some experience over fences on his latest two starts.
