FormscanBy Alan Magee - The market suggests this could develop into a tussle between BOSTON BOB and Don Cossack, and slight preference is given to the former. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding has taken time to gain his confidence over fences but finished out last term with Grade 1 wins in the Melling Chase at Aintree and the Punchestown Gold Cup. A distant third to Road To Riches on his reappearance in the JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal hardly set the world on fire but he can be expected to step up considerably on that run. Don Cossack is certainly on an upward curve this term, and looks a stronger model on the evidence of Graded race wins both here and at Down Royal. A Grade 1 winner last term in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse, this should go a long way towards establishing whether he can develop into a real top notch chaser. Double figure quotes about last season’s Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere may look very tempting. However the Oscar gelding has been expertly primed for the spring by Jim Culloty to score at the last two Cheltenham Festivals and, while the drying ground will help, he’s unlikely to be at concert pitch here.
