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

Formscan By Gary Carson - EL CHAMPO comes here in fine form and may be able to land the hat-trick. The Ocovango gelding has been progressive, winning his last two at Galway, and was maybe value for a bit more than his winning margin last time. Yeats Star has been given a mark of 122 after his easy victory at Downpatrick early last month. He is open to further improvement but this looks a tough enough task for a four-year-old under top-weight. Walhaan comes here off the back of a win on the all-weather last time and has to be respected. He had run well in testing conditions over hurdles at Galway previously.
