Formscan By Gary Carson - A tricky looking contest and LISTENTILLITELLYEA may prove the pick. Tom Gibney’s charge didn’t have the best of luck on his last visit here, getting hampered a few times in the closing stages in a race that turned into a sprint finish. He wasn’t disgraced in sixth in the end and may benefit from stepping up in trip again now. Clifftop is more of a summer horse and this nice ground will suit him on his return. He still looks on a fair mark over fences. Brucio didn’t run too badly off a mark of 125 at Ayr last time and has to be given a chance now off 5lb lower.
