FormscanBy Gary Carson - A cracking renewal with four Grade 1 winners lining up. FOUND A FIFTY has the fitness advantage and can make a mark now against seasoned performers. The Solskjaer gelding produced a fine weight carrying performance at Down Royal on his return a fortnight ago. Captain Guinness bids for a hat-trick in the race so commands utmost respect. He got his day in the sun when landing the Champion Chase back in March and has been a wonderfully consitent performer. He ended his season with a narrow defeat by Banbridge at Punchestown and that rival is another big player in a small but select field. Joseph O'Brien's charge showed he can operate at a high level over two miles that day.
