Formscan By Michael Graham - Tactics will be key as recent winners - STRAIGHT JOHN, Raise You Up and Tip Of The Wings - all dictated in their respective races. Straight John encountered some smart types when sixth in a big field on debut at Leopardstown and then took the runner-up berth at Punchestown. He was a comfortable winner on his latest start at that track. Raise You Up is proven over further and was strong at the finish in delivering at Limerick and at this venue, so he's a major contender. Tip Of The Wings, a stablemate of the selection, has to give weight away, but beat an odds-on favourite in Limerick. Dollar Nolimit was patiently ridden to score in Limerick and isn't out of it.

Quotes

Quotes on Straight John (FR)

It probably wasn’t the strongest race in the world and I’d say he probably wants two-and-a-half miles. I’d say a rated hurdle somewhere would suit him well, he ran a nice race. He’s very straightforward. I’d say he wants further and Jack said the track was pretty tight for him.
