FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CHAMPION GREEN is excitable but has most to fear from newcomers in a winneable race. A flat maiden winner, he was keen when second over Christmas and was far too enthusiastic when pulling up with a slipped saddle at Punchestown 13 days ago. He has strong claims if settling. Minella Youngy didn't run for previous trainer John Nallen but is notable on debut and is out of an unraced half-sister to three winners. Stablemates Invivo (whose dam won over fences) and Steppenwolf (a half-brother to a Listed winner) represent the No Hitch On The Hearse and Bricks And Beers Syndicate respectively and are nicely related French-breds. Whose A Diva is the 16th foal from a very well bred unraced half-sister to The Listener and is a sibling to five winners. Only Sky won a handicap last July and could do well over hurdles while Saywhatyouwant ran well at Fairyhouse but was well beaten last time. Enchanted Magic is a half-brother to Group 3-placed performer while Coolcullen has bits of middle-distance flat form.
