Formscan By Tom Weekes - YOU SAY NOTHING can defy a 11lbs penalty for winning at Down Royal in December and win this. His form in maiden hurdles was poor but recently has shown much more and was a good winner of his most recent start and comes here largely unexposed and likely to better his current rating. Spare Brakes is 11 but has his chance. He improved his chase rating with some good form last season, is now rated 11lbs lower over hurdles than fences and bumped into two capable and progressive handicappers when third at Limerick over Christmas. Hardwired is interesting on his first handicap start having shown nice bits of form in bumpers and over hurdles while Fierami (whose rider has ridden 235 point-to-point winners) needs to show more than his debut for new connections at Limerick over Christmas. Resurrected Duke has yet to win in 15 starts but is capable at this grade and can get involved.%0A
