Formscan By Alan Magee - SAINT SAM made all to easily land this race on testing ground 12 months ago and may repeat the trick. The selection has proved a great money-spinner for connections and gained another Grade 2 success in the Clonmel Oil Chase before filling the runner-up spot when reverting to hurdles last time. Stablemate Classic Getaway should benefit from a couple of outings last month including when runner-up to Appreciate It at Thurles, while Journey With Me impressed when taking a Fairyhouse Grade 2 over a similar trip last spring but has proved disappointing on both starts this term.
