Formscan By Mark Nunan - The weather is predicted to take a turn for the worse ahead of Saturday's action and THIS SONGISFORYOU is tipped in the hope that ground conditions don't deteriorate too much. A bumper winner at last year's festival, he had a good run on the Flat here on Wednesday having run creditably behind previous winners on his hurdling bow at Roscommon a few weeks ago. In the same colours as the selection, Enfranchise drops into maiden company over hurdles for the first time having finished fifth in a Listed novice contest here on Tuesday. Useful on the Flat, she has had five runs over hurdles and all that experience will be an asset. Olympic Man was a Flat winner over 1m7f in France and twice ran well over hurdles but he's been off well over two years and Paul Townend prefers to ride fellow French recruit Ninth Titan who was found wanting at stakes level on the Flat but is a four-time winner over ten furlongs.
