FormscanBy Gary Carson - There looks scope for further improvement from SPILLANE'S TOWER at this trip. Jimmy Mangan's charge made a couple of slight errors over the last two when taking the WillowWarm Gold Cup at Fairyhouse over Easter but was nicely on top at the line and has always shaped like a horse that would appreciate a trip. Monty's Star ran a cracker when chasing home the brilliant Fact To File in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham and he is a horse that is still progressing. Embassy Gardens bumped into a good one when second to Corbetts Cross in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham. A mistake two out put paid to his chances then and he's capable of getting closer now.
A novice steeplechase for five years old and upwards
Weights - 5-y-o 11st 8lbs 6-y-o and up 11st 10lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
