FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Honeysuckle's conqueror TEAHUPPO steps up to three miles for the first time. Suited by testing conditions, he won over 2m2f on Auteuil debut as a three-year-old, which suggests he should now stay three-miles. Last year's Thyestes winner Longhouse Poet competes 35 minutes earlier this time and remains over hurdles, with another Grand National bid likely. His Limerick win, gained over an inadequate distance, was nothing special but receives 9lb from the selection and was Grade 1-placed as a novice hurdler. Former Supreme Novices Hurdle winner Summerville Boy should progress from his 420-days reappearance run but has plenty on his plate aged 11. Front-runner My Design, twice placed at blacktype level, receives weight and has minor place claims. First-time blinkers are notable for Beacon Edge, which has lost his way, although their application failed to spark Early Doors into life over Christmas, with connections reverting to his Galway Plate-winning cheekpieces.
