Formscan - Only By Night has impressed with her jumping on both chase victories to date and a reproduction of her latest victory in a Grade 2 at Cork is sure to make her tough to beat. However, a 5lb penalty for Gavin Cromwell's mare could swing things in the favour of fellow progressive rival FUN FUN FUN. The daughter of Martaline made a winning chase bow over 2m4f at Naas last month and an extended 2m1f here shouldn't hamper her follow-up bid. Georgi Girl is the pick of the remainder.
