Formscan - Two of the brightest prospects in the division clash with Ballyburn and SIR GINO taking centre stage. Willie Mullins takes the unusual approach to send a top-notch novice prospect over before Cheltenham and Ballyburn's chasing debut at Punchestown was safe without being spectacular. The return to the minimum distance against a rival in the calibre of Sir Gino will need him to be a lot sharper in the jumping department and Nicky Henderson's four-year-old, already a comfortable winner of the Fighting Fifth this season, has reportedly schooled very well over fences. Rubaud looks booked for third.
