FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Provided the ground doesn't get any softer, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained CEANNDANA can open his account over fences. A dual winning hurdler last season, the seven-year-old has run well on two of his three starts since switching to chasing. The obvious concern is that that one poor effort came under testing conditions at Killarney. With no further rain forecast, the gelding looks to have a leading chance. Coillte Aris had been running consistently over hurdles before gaining a first success when stepped up to this trip last time. The chasing debutant has previous point-to-point experience which should be an asset. Lightly raced Tipperary winner Farrokh also enters calculations for trainer Barry Connell.
A steeplechase for five years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase and which at entry are rated 102 or less over hurdles
