Formscan - STRATUM arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories in this contest and the 10-year-old warmed up for this when not running too badly at Leopardstown on his return from a break. William Buick is reunited in the saddle and the pair boast strong credentials once again. Dawn Rising made up into a very useful hurdler during the winter months, placing at the highest level, and finished ahead of the selection when third in the aforementioned Leopardstown Group 3. He is respected, with the step up in trip potentially unlocking further improvement, while Cesarewitch winner Run For Oscar is likely to be a lot happier stepped back up in distance following his prep over 1m4f at the Curragh.
