Formscan By Alan Magee - The decision to skip Cheltenham with SANDOR CLEGANE can pay dividends here. The Paul Nolan-trained gelding created a big impression when scoring in great style on debut at Punchestown and, while no match for Facile Vega in a Grade 2 at the Dublin Racing Festival in Leopardstown, the son of Fame And Glory had five other previous winners well stretched out behind and remains an exciting prospect. Music Drive and Kiki Badger were both placed at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and look the chief threats. Music Drive beat Howyabud in a Monksgrange point-to-point before filling the runner-up spot behind Redemption Day, while Kiki Badger was placed behind another Willie Mullins-trained bumper winner Embassy Gardens.
