Formscan By Tom Weekes - High-class SPINDLEBERRY won all her three novice chase runs last term and can confirm February placings with today’s chief rival Bioluminescence. Runner-up at Grade 1 level over hurdles, the selection took very well to fences last season and concluded with a fine defeat over smart geldings Firefox and Champ Kiely in Fairyhouse’s WillowWarm Gold Cup. Bioluminescence conceded 10lb to the selection in the aforementioned February race and while she now receives 2lb, lacks a little of the selection’s ability. Kilbarry Saint should win the chase for the other blacktype-place.
