FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A difficult contest to assess, with LUCKY ZEBO the suggestion. The six-year-old completed a hat-trick at Kilbeggan in July and was a close third on his most recent start at Wexford, after being hampered in the closing stages. Back over flights now, Henry de Bromhead looks to have found a good opportunity for the progressive bay. Sir Bob is another reverting to the smaller obstacles and the 11-year-old is given second preference. Likely to relish the testing conditions, he has finished no worse than third on eight of his last nine starts. Top-weight Chinx Of Light is yet another switching back to hurdles. Ultimately disappointing over fences, he returns from a year long absence and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. As Tears Go By will need to bounce back from recent efforts if he is to feature here, while Ochocinco can't be discounted after winning on debut at Down Royal.
