Formscan By Tom Weekes - Recent runner-up ECLIPSE CHASER is related to useful stayers and can progress at this longer trip. A half-brother to Grade 2-winner Westerner Lady, the selection’s form is unexciting but did at least finish well clear of the third-placed horse at Kilbeggan and might progress. Dual Flat winner Jacovec Cavern ran well in a recent handicap hurdle and should compete while Coumeenoole was held when falling at Ballinrobe recently. Cut The Rope returned following a layoff to run well on his yard debut at Downpatrick while Front Door Famous steps up in trip having been a beaten odds-on favourite at Downpatrick. Open Secret was useful on the Flat but lacks jumping experience.
