Going - Good, good to yielding in places. Overcast

Formscan By John O'Riordan - SOUNDS VICTORIUS, a course bumper winner before subsequently finishing fourth in Grade 1 bumpers both at Cheltenham and the festival here, can make a winning debut over hurdles. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding, who has the potential to take high rank in the novice division this season, should have too much class for these opponents. The Diddler, who has reached the frame on both starts over flights, has to rate the main danger. Given her previous experience of jumping, the six-year-old mare looks the one for minor honours. Limerick bumper winner The Dancing Tree was unable to get involved at Cheltenham last time but shouldn't be discounted despite needing to take another step forward.
