Going - Hurdle/bumper: Heavy. Chase: Soft to heavy, heavy in places. Overcast

Formscan By Alan Magee - ROYAL THIEF won four times for Henry de Bromhead and only weakened before the last when sixth in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham 12 months ago. The Fame And Glory gelding hasn’t made much impact in valuable handicaps this season but should appreciate this drop in class. Falco Blitz beat R’evelyn Pleasure, who won a veteran’s race here at Christmas, by seven lengths over this trip at Thurles while Young Dev is another new to this category to consider. The four-time course winner rallied strongly to win at Navan on his last completed start. Sir Bob enjoyed his finest hour when landing the Cork Grand National in November and now reverts back to fences.
