Formscan  - There was a lot to like about TOMMY TIME's facile win on his bumper debut at Kilbeggan last month and his new connections will be hoping that he can repay his subsequent 130,000-euro sale by triumphing under a 7lb penalty here. Fourtowns offered more encouragement when finishing fifth on his second appearance in a NH flat race at Down Royal earlier in the month, but a bigger threat may emerge from Captain Butler, who makes his racecourse bow on the back of a success between the flags.
