FormscanBy Tom Weekes - This is Division 4 for the Festival novice chasers and preference is for GALVIN who comes here unexposed over fences. GALVIN was a smart performer over hurdles, ran a solid race when sixth in last season's Ballymore novices hurdle and while he lacks experience over fences having just competed twice, this race is likely to have been his target for some time. He stayed on reasonably well under hands and heels on his latest run at Punchestown last November and while he clearly needs to progress to win today, the form of that race was boosted by the winner winning her next two starts with GALVIN remaining a horse of interest from his 142 rating. Imperial Aura, in contrast, is already well established in this division having run well over course and distance in a similar enough handicap January. He has plenty in his favour today but has nonetheless climbed to a 143 rating for today's race. Hold The Note's own rating has climbed 12lbs following a good runner-up run in a Grade 2 contest at Warwick in January. He is a consistent performer (he was hampered before pulling up on his penultimate run), goes well on soft and is proven at this trip so should go well today. Bottom weight Trainwreck lost his way in 2018/19 (he was beaten in Tipperary and Killarney handicap hurdles) but did bounce back to form when second in last month's Leopardstown Chase. He is proven on testing ground and has a chance if he replicates his Leopardstown form which, notably, was his first time trying this type of trip. %0A
