FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Galway Plate winner ASH TREE MEADOW could be well treated back over hurdles, especially with Carl Millar taking off 7lb. Making all when easily landing a Grade 3 chase at Killarney last month, the Gordon Elliott-trained eight-year-old may well adopt similar tactics here. Although a repeat Plate bid is almost certainly the main objective, he can take this en route. Scaramanga remains open to further improvement for Willie Mullins, having only had the five starts for the champion trainer. However, this trip is probably as short as he would want to go at this stage of his career. A maiden winner here back in October, the Thomas Mullins-trained Fascile Mode rates best of the remainder.
