FormscanBy Michael Graham - SANDOR CLEGANE brings strong Grade 1 form to this contest. Paul Nolan's Fame And Glory gelding ran third in both a novice hurdle at Leopardstown and the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival. Those races were over further, however, this intermediate trip shouldn't be an issue as he has plenty of form over the minimum trip. Three Card Brag finished over four lengths behind Sandor Clegane in fifth at Cheltenham. He has been particularly effective at this sort of trip, though. A neck second to a subsequent Grade 1 winner at Naas before Christmas stands out. Three Card Brag then went on to win a novice hurdle in Fairyhouse by 12 lengths. He comprehensively defeated Sandor Clegane over an extended 2m at Galway in October. That was on deep ground, though, and drying ground wouldn't be ideal for him. Senior Chief is up in class, but has won his last two races. He's in good hands and can get involved.
