Formscan By Donal Murphy - Despite his advancing years, it's difficult to look beyond 2024 Champion Chase hero CAPTAIN GUINNESS. While he has yet to put his best foot forward this season, he should appreciate this significant drop in class. Fourth in the Fortria at Navan in November, where the selection pulled up, Touch Me Not is the second choice. He has already beaten all of his rivals in recent months and while having to give weight all around here, he might still come out on top. Already successful at this grade in 2024, Blood Destiny warrants the utmost respect, despite the fact he pulled up when last seen at Fairyhouse. Reporting on that disappointing effort, Paul Townend later informed the stewards that his mount 'never travelled and made a noise.'
