Formscan By Donal Murphy - AIME DESJY, Duffle Coat and Miss Tempo are the ones to focus on here, with preference for the Willie Mullins-trained former. Described by Patrick Mullins as 'a real chasing type' after winning a bumper, the French bred gelding was a fine fifth when tried over fences for the first time in a hot beginners at Fairyhouse in December. He since finished second to the classy Saint Felicien over the course and distance last month and he'll be well fancied to go a place better now. Duffle Coat has a course win to his name and really put it up to the long odds-on Senior Chief on his most recent start. That was his first try over fences and he is likely to be suited by the drop in trip here to two-and-a-half. Miss Tempo has a point-to-point win to her name and has since won three over flights. A runner-up at Naas on her most recent start, she should give a good account of herself, in receipt of a mares weight allowance.
