Going - Hurdle/Bumper: yielding, soft in places. Chase: yielding to soft CHANGED to yielding after 6th race. Blustery and dry

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Galway Plate winner WESTERN FOLD can take this step up in class in his stride. The Gordon Elliott trained gelding put up a fine weight-carrying performance when easily landing the feature race at the Festival in July. Given time to freshen up since, he looks well treated by the conditions of this race. While there has to be a slight concern about dropping in trip, he jumps and travels well enough to overcome that negative. A proven performer at Graded level, the Willie Mullins trained Blood Destiny rates the biggest danger, but may just not have the stamina reserves of the selection in the latter stages. Affordale Fury looks best of the remainder.
