Formscan By Alan Magee - GRANGEE appeared to find 2m4f too far when weakening in the straight at Fairyhouse last time but has strong claims on her previous third to Love Envoi over 2m1f at the Cheltenham Festival. The Willie Mullins-trained mare had two of her likely dangers, Party Central and Dinoblue, both behind on that occasion and gets the vote to add to four previous wins which includes a Grade 3 bumper at this meeting last year. Party Central and Dinoblue both travelled well to the home turn at Cheltenham and should be suited by this less demanding finishing straight. Brides Hill progressed rapidly in handicaps earlier this season going up a total of 35lb and hopefully can bounce back after a disappointing run last time. Lunar Display and Instit are others to consider.
