Going - Soft (Hurdle/Bumper); Soft, Soft to Heavy in places (Chase/Cross Country). Fine

Formscan By Michael Graham - A cracking Grade 2 contest which could get tactical. FLOORING PORTER was excellent on his first crack at fences in Cheltenham and the form got a boost when the runner-up came out and won a Listed novices' chase at the same track by 20 lengths. Affordale Fury took to fences in Galway, when beating Favori De Champdou by a length and a-half, and has plenty of class over flights to call upon. Churchstonewarrior has been Grade 1 placed over fences and snapped a run of three runner-up berths in a row when delivering in a Grade 2 at Navan in February. He has to give weight away to a deep field, though. Sandor Clegane has a terrific record in Punchestown and is one to look forward to over staying trips. It is worth noting that his fourth on chasing bow at Fairyhouse came over an inadequate trip. Maxxum and Quilixios won their first starts over fences and cannot be ruled out.
