Formscan By Donal Murphy - This has an open look, with the three Willie Mullins-trained representatives all coming into it on the back of disappointing efforts. The choice of Paul Townend, Karamoja appears the pick of the trio, with this French import placed at the highest level over flights last season. Not given a hard time of it when her chance was gone at Fairyhouse before Christmas, she blundered at the last there and is likely to step forward from that comeback effort. For a selection, THE GREAT NUDIE gets the nod. A point-to-point winner, she was a good third in a Listed contest at Punchestown in November and a reproduction of that performance might be good enough to take this. Falling when sent off a well-backed favourite at Tipperary in July, four-time winner Gaoth Chuil warrants the utmost respect, while Down Royal runner-up Birmingham Alabama and Gordon Elliott's Neon Diamond are other leading hopes.
