FormscanBy Alan Magee - ASPIRE TOWER appears to have found a good opportunity to open his account over fences. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding was a smart sort over hurdles winning twice at Grade 2 level and has been placed on both outings over fences at Thurles this year behind high class rivals. He made a bold bid to make all when collared close home by Zanahiyr last month. Horantzau D’airy, second in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Listowel Festival with Thecompanysergeant five lengths back in fourth, is an interesting recruit to fences while Ambitious Fellow also switches to the larger obstacles but needs to bounce back after a couple of disappointing efforts and may find this trip too sharp.
