Formscan By Mark Nunan - FACT TO FILE had 2023 winner Fastorslow back in fourth when winning a strong renewal of this a year ago and is taken to make a successful start to his third season over fences. A brilliant winner of the Ryanair Chase in March, he didn’t give his running when tried over two miles here the following month but it generally pays to be forgiving of horses who disappoint at that end-of-season festival. By contrast, Gaelic Warrior finished last term on a high when stepped up in trip and he has a good record at right-handed tracks, including this one. Brought along steadily before peaking spectacularly in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Inothewayurthinkin looks opposable on his reappearance. %0A%0A
