Going - Soft, Soft to Heavy in places (Hurdle); Yielding to Soft, Soft in places (Chase). Overcast

Formscan By Alan Magee - A mouth-watering race in prospect with a Willie Mullins-trained trio having all really impressed last time out along with two highly regarded geldings from Cullentra. Gaelic Warrior was the pick of these over hurdles and has taken really well to fences with brilliant front-running displays at both Punchestown and Limerick. His preference for right-handed tracks will come under scrutiny here and perhaps stablemate FACT TO FILE can take advantage. The point-to-point winner was top class in bumpers last season and the decision to go straight over fences this term looks a smart one. He was second to American Mike when reappearing at Navan and appeared to take a big step forward from that run when ultra impressive over course and distance at Christmas. Grangeclare West recorded a stylish Grade 1 win over three miles here last time while Found A Fifty also has a top level course success this term but may find this trip a shade too far.
