FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This is undoubtedly the biggest test to date for FAUGHEEN but he proved himself here last year and he can do so again now. The son of Germany has been flawless since starting out for Andrew Slattery in April of 2012, winning all eight starts. He will be taking on his seven rivals here for the first time but he looks a special horse and he can put them to the sword. Hurricane Fly is a special horse in his own right but he doesn't seem as good at Cheltenham and with Ruby Walsh deserting him in favour of Faugheen it is hard to be over confident about his chances. Jezki is of course the defending champion but he has yet to win in three starts this season. Barry Geraghty gets on very well with the Jessica Harrington trained gelding and it's disappointing that he is not aboard this year. The New One was badly hampered early on in this race last year, staying on strongly up the hill to finish third. He has won his five starts since but was far from impressive at Haydock on his last outing. He probably wasn't mad about the heavy conditions there and back on quick ground now he can be expected to go close. With eight in the line-up Arctic Fire has solid each-way claims while Kitten Rock will need to improve from what he has shown to date if he is to feature.
