Formscan By Donal Murphy - Willie Mullins saddles Fishery Lane and Toad Hall, with Paul Townend opting to partner the former. Pulled up on his last two starts, he is difficult to back with any great confidence. In truth, it's hard to be overly confident about any of these, with many of the main protagonists returning from summer breaks. Two from three at the venue, it might be worth siding with the race fit RUSHMOUNT. Fifth in a stronger contest at Down Royal last month, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Starting off over fences, Eagle Fang and Kurasso Blue are sure to have plenty of supporters, with the former running some fine races in defeat last season.
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase that are EBF eligible
