Formscan  - Onlyamatteroftime has been well supported over the past couple of days for connections who enjoy landing a gamble. That said, the seven-year-old ran out on his handicap debut at Cork when coming to challenge at the final flight and this would require a fair amount of improvement, even with a stable switch to Willie Mullins a big positive. Nemean Lion came out on top in the Welsh Champion Hurdle at the expense of Anyharminasking and the pair, along with the fifth Gin Coco, are expected to be in the mix. The vote, though, goes to IBERICO LORD, who took a big step forward when runner-up to stable companion Under Control at Sandown at the end of last season. It also seems significant that Nico de Boinville opts to ride him over Luccia, especially with the mare boasting a recent run under her belt when runner-up in a Listed contest at Wetherby.
