Going - Yielding, yielding to soft in places. Fine

Formscan By Tom Weekes - SANDOR CLEGANE is closely matched with Three Card Brag on their previous meetings but is slightly less reliant on testing ground conditions than that rival. The selection finished third, and ahead of Three Card Brag, in Cheltenham's 2023 Albert Bartlett Hurdle and while the score between the pair is 2-2 following four prior meetings, Sandor Clegane might hold a small edge, with each horse reverting from fences on season reappearance. Recent course-and-distance winner Plains Indian faces a tougher task today and would prefer good ground while Franciscan Rock won a recent Punchestown handicap but also steps up in grade. Recent chase winner Drumgill concedes plenty weight.
