Going - Good to Yielding, good in places. Overcast

Formscan By Gary Carson - ARCTIC GALE looks capable of winning over fences again off this mark. He won a beginners chase at Tipperary back in July and is still relatively unexposed over fences after just two runs. He performed with credit when third over timber here at the festival and had valid excuses when suffering an over-reach in a second outing just four days later. Top-weight Sea Aster ran well when third last time at Kilbeggan. She stays well and could be in the mix-up again. Spellacy’s Cross has a nice low weight and could be place material.
