FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Trainer Philip Fenton, who has been amongst the winners of late, can add another here courtesy of former course winner JERIKO DE BAUNE. The five-year-old was successful over 2m4f here last November, before later proving his stamina for this trip when winning at Fairyhouse. Having run well when third in a better contest at Cork last time, the gelding looks poised to strike under Niall Moore. A two-time winner over hurdles in Perth, Gordon Elliott's Themanintheboots rates a serious threat under jockeys championship leader, Jack Kennedy. The six-year-old had run well on a few occasions in this country prior to his UK raids. Point-to-point winner Sam Magee has faced some stiff tasks in maiden company, so should appreciate this lower grade. He doesn't need to improve a great deal to get involved.
