Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Early betting on this shows the task on for anything to upstage SIZING EUROPE. His appearance brings this two and a half miler back to the glory days of Dorans Pride, Beef Or Salmon and War Of Attrition and anything other than a win for Henry de Bromhead's stable star will be a big surprise. Tranquil Sea is attempting a hat-trick in this contest but with a rating of 156 he has quite an ask to go and match Sizing Europe (171). Magnanimity loves deep ground and after a serious injury incurred in the RSA Chase in 2011, Dessie Hughes is confident that his charge will return to his best this campaign. The signs were certainly more encouraging behind Roi Du Mee at Punchestown and he could challenge Tranquil Sea for the runner-up position. On handicap ratings Rathlin should beat Magnanimity, particularly at the weights in this, but Davy Russell prefers the latter and I'd be in agreement with him. A decent horse on his day, Let Yourself Go would cause a massive shock were he to prevail at this stage.
