Formscan By Mark Nunan - A wide-margin winner of Grade One novice hurdles at Leopardstown and Punchestown either side of finishing third to The New Lion in the 2m5f novice hurdle at Cheltenham in March, FINAL DEMAND sets out on his chasing career here and it will be a shock if he doesn’t make a successful transition to the larger obstacles. The six-year-old, clear favourite for the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase at next year’s festival, was a point-to-point winner last year and is unlikely to be inconvenienced by testing ground. Now Is The Hour is a talented second-season novice but would prefer a longer trip while winning pointer Butch Cassidy was a decent hurdler and has the scope to make a better chaser. %0A
