FormscanBy Alan Magee - HOME BY THE LEE won this race two years ago and recorded a ninth career win when making a successful reappearance at Navan last month. The Joseph O’Brien-trained gelding can be prone to hitting a flat spot in his races but recorded a smooth victory when beating Bob Olinger in that 2m4f Grade 2 event and is suited by this extra 4f. Hewick, who is best suited by good ground, and Noble Yeats are the pick of these over fences. The former won the King George at Kempton last Christmas and now reverts to hurdles after running a cracker when narrowly denied by Envoi Allen at Down Royal last month while Grand National winner Noble Yeats may just need the run.
