FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ASHDALE BOB mightn't need to improve in today's first-time cheekpieces to win, as he takes a breather dropping in grade. His previous win came in April 2021 but has contested many hot races since and while dropping in distance isn't ideal, retains good ability. Veteran Cash Back won a legless Clonmel hurdle in December and while beaten in a more charitable event at Punchestown on February 18, might still struggle to concede 5lb to the selection. Consisstent novice Dee Capo ran well behind a useful winner at Navan in November. He returns from a break with his rider claiming 5lb but faces a stiff test. Nine-time winner Effernock Fizz is held by Cash Back on July form while Sir Allen has plenty weight.
