Going - Hurdle/bumper: Yielding, good to yielding in places. Chase: yielding, yielding to soft in places. Fine

Formscan By Gary Carson - SPORTINTHEPARK could be on a nice mark back over hurdles on his seasonal debut. The Noel Meade-trained gelding was impressive around here when winning a rated novice chase on this card last year. He wasn’t disgraced in a Grade 2 subsequently and a mark of 120 could be lenient in this sphere. Grann’s Boy comes here in fine form and has to be respected. He has won three of his last four and was unlucky here on the other outing, getting a bump early and also making a mistake which knocked him back. Rue Taylor showed improvement when winning at Wexford last time and is another to consider off a nice low weight.
