FormscanBy Alan Magee - ROUTINE EXCELLENCE stays well as evidenced by a previous win in a 3m handicap hurdle at Navan, although his form has been a bit in and out since winning a 2m5f chase at Thurles last spring. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding kept on well over 2m5f last time in the Ladies National at Fairyhouse and Caragh Monaghan again claims the 7lb. Atacanter is another suited by a test of stamina and while still a maiden after 14 starts, gave plenty of encouragement when second to He Fitz In (who runs in the previous race) at Limerick last month. Robinstown is often let down by his jumping but would be a threat to all given a clear round.
