Formscan By Donal Murphy - One of three last time out winners in the line-up and racing in first time cheekpieces, CUMBERLAND RIVER gets the nod. Finishing with a flourish to win going away at Limerick over Christmas, the Gordon Elliott-trained selection now takes a slight step-up in trip and this should play to his strengths. Making all and easily accounting for 19 rivals at Fairyhouse before Christmas, Run For Cover is the second choice. Upped 10lb and racing off a revised mark of 93, she might still be ahead of the handicapper, and could prove difficult to peg back if getting her own way out in front. Coming from last to first to make the breakthrough at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day, Boston Bobby warrants the utmost respect, while others for the shortlist are handicap debutant Keiths Boy, dual winner Party President and top-weight Moylussa.
