Formscan By John O'Riordan - SPANISH JOHN looks to have decent claims for trainer Pat Fahy. Twice successful on the Flat this season, the seven-year-old looks well treated back over flights relative to that mark. Having landed his sole previous victory over hurdles off an identical rating, the gelding has plenty in his favour here. With Harry Sexton claiming an additional 7lb, it is difficult to see the son of Vendangeur not playing a leading role. Aswellasabentley has to be respected on what is only his third run for Gavin Cromwell. Stepping back up in trip should suit the Walk In The Park gelding. Welcome Aboard, who finished third here on his handicap debut, is entitled to be all the better for that experience.
