Formscan By Alan Magee - Riding arrangements may look a little confusing with the JP McManus pair here but Mark Walsh has partnered ANY SECOND NOW on six of his eight career starts, and the Ted Walsh-trained gelding gets the vote. He was a Grade 2 winner over hurdles last term, and has kept the best of company when placed on all outings over fences this season. He’ll appreciate the return to this trip, and has no concerns about the ground. Demi Sang never got involved after a blunder at the first last time but previously looked in need of further when finishing strongly to score over two miles at Naas. Barney Dwan brings solid Festival handicap form to the table having beaten all bar Presenting Percy in the Pertemps Final last year, and is on a hat-trick over fences after scoring in good style on soft ground at Musselburgh.
