FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Course and distance winner WARM IN GOREY has leading claims under Tiernan Power Roche. Only 3lb higher than when successful here last June, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding actually races off a lower mark once taking the jockey claim into account. A consistent sort in handicap chases in recent months, the six-year-old may appreciate reverting to hurdles at a track where he is already a winner. Glendars Mahler has to be respected on her first start for trainer Aidan Howard. Having been rated as high as 105 in the past, the eight-year-old can run off the same mark from which she won her maiden hurdle. Point-to-point winner Due Course is another to consider especially now he steps back up in distance.
