FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WISE OLD OWL, one of seven JP McManus owned runners (he also has the second reserve), is a hopeful choice in an open renewal. McManus' retained rider Tony McCoy has opted for Alderwood but wouldn't have been able to ride at 10st3lbs and WISE OLD OWL appears the choice of Mark Walsh. A lot depends on whether he retains his old ability but there should be life in him at ten and he is sure to have been aimed at this event. He represents last year's winners and competes from a mark 4lbs below his 2011 Plate runner-up effort. Alderwood is a proven performer and while he has his first run since last October, is also likely to be primed for this. McManus' three British trained runners Vulcanite, Rum And Butter and It's A Gimme (winner of the Summer Plate at Market Rasen latest) are each trying to run up sequences and while they each have claims having proven themselves on fast ground, each failed to land a blow when upped in grade at Cheltenham on various occasions. Irish National runner-up Golden Wonder is versatile ground-wise and while lightly raced, has proven himself in this grade. Notably, he beat Spring Heeled well at this festival last year but now gets 8lbs from that rival. Spring Heeled went on to win at Cheltenham and, while he carries enough weight, cannot be totally dismissed with ground in his favour while Art Of Logistics, well held at Cheltenham, has the benefit of some recent winning form and is open to improvement being just six. Away We Go appears Willie Mullins' first-string and while he won a lesser contest over this trip latest, his best form has been in more staying handicaps. Road To Riches comes here having run well in a similar type event at Punchestown (albeit not as competitive, Aupcharlie was fourth) in May while the only mare, Burn And Turn, will like the ground but runs from a career high rating. Caid Du Berlais is a fascinating runner being a five year old with just two chase runs. He has good hurdle form but might need a little more experience to win.
