Formscan By John O'Riordan - The Gavin Cromwell-trained JOUSTER can strike on what is only his second career start over fences. Runner-up at this track on his introduction to chasing last month, the lightly raced five-year-old should be all the better for that experience. With his trainer continuing to be amongst the winners, the son of Gris De Gris looks the one to beat. The Great Unknown has yet to win a race but the Walk In The Park mare has shown promise on a number of occasions. Once the penny finally drops, the Henry De Bromhead-trained five-year-old should improve through the ranks. Pipers Boreen, who finished third in a handicap chase at Galway on her fencing debut, should have benefitted from that initial outing.
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase that at entry are rated 102 or less over hurdles
