FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FALCON EIGHT isn't suited by the race distance but has strong form. Winner of the 2021 Chester Cup, over 2m2f, he is rated 109 on the flat and while his best form is over staying distances, managed a win over 1m4f at the Curragh last month, suggesting he may have enough pace to cope. He also holds Tax For Max on Cesarewitch form, albeit over a staying flat distance. Tax For Max is suited by the trip and while in-form, has won just once over hurdles and running in a first-time tongue-tie is a small negative. Hiaou will benefit from last month's Sligo reappearance but is comfortably held by Tax For Max on that form and is 6lb worse off. Fascinating Shadow was well held at Cheltenham while Weseekhimhere is long absent. It'sallabouteve is Brendan Walsh's first runner but is best watched on reappearance.
