FormscanBy Donal Murphy - VINA ARDANZA is a classy recruit to fences and should prove hard to beat. He competed at the highest level over flights at Aintree and Punchestown in April, finishing an excellent third to Jonbon at the Merseyside venue. A faller in the Galway Hurdle when sent off at just 14-1, he takes a significant drop-in class here. Henry de Bromhead is represented by Ballybough Native and Freddie Robdal, with the former given second preference. Bought by current connections for 195,000 pounds after winning a bumper on debut at Tipperary, he has been ultimately disappointing since. The Shirocco gelding starts off over fences now and may come into his own over the larger obstacles. Wouldn't You Agree, who has a course win to his name, Whosgotyanow, My Boy Bob and Cahirdown Boy are likely to be battling it out for minor honours.
