Going - Hurdle: good to yielding. CHANGED after 2nd race to 'yielding'. Chase: good to yielding. . Raining

Formscan By Donal Murphy - POETIC FOCUS should give a good account of herself in this competitive affair. The Yeats five-year-old ran her best race to date when fourth of 18 at Galway on her latest start and with Eoin Staples now claiming a valuable 7lb, it'll be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. Not seen since finishing a good fourth on her handicap debut at Limerick in April, it'll be interesting to see how Great Bird fares, while Smallcraftwarning, Coffeys Forge Arrycan and Wing Back are other leading hopes. The Sam Curling-trained latter made the breakthrough at Downpatrick on his penultimate start, finishing a close third when bidding to follow-up at the same venue.
