FormscanBy Michael Graham - POORMANS HILL ought to be more than competitive. He appears to thrive on his racing as since switching to Gordon Elliott he was won six races in 11 starts from late September. He has been mixing steeplechasing and hurdling to good effect. The seven-year-old gelding has kept good company in his last three handicap chases with a fourth in the Troytown, fifth in the Porterstown and sixth in the Leinster National. He evidently enjoys the undulations in Downpatrick as he is two from two here. He is currently a 33/1 shot for the Irish Grand National but could do with winning here to go up in the weights and have a chance of running in the Easter Monday showpiece. Undressed has shown more zest in his last couple of outings. The trip shouldn't be an issue to him and he could go well if he gets into a rhythm early on. Dinnie's Vinnie is on a hat-trick and has won at this track before. He can come on and off the bridle, though, and that may not be ideal over this marathon trip which will take plenty of getting on heavy ground. Anseanachai Cliste won this race last year for Stephen McConville. He starts out for Alan Wells having had three runs in the winter for Ronan McNally. The 10-year-old gelding looks to have plenty to prove after being well beaten in Ayr in January.
