FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Reference to the betting will be important here if one is considering having a play. Tony Martin has no less than four participants, namely Beau Et Sublime, Kinnitty Castle, Sarwistan and Voices Of Spring, whilst Alvisio Ville is an unknown quantity. This grey, who represents J P McManus and Willie Mullins, has had just one outing to date, that coming when third in a mile and five French bumper in October 2013. Aengus, is another that brings bumper form to the table, as a winner at Fairyhouse, over two and a quarter miles, last month, and in the aftermath of that Noel Meade was keen to stress that he views this Robin Des Champs gelding as a stayer. The minimum trip here might prove to be on the sharp side for Aengus. The focus falls on ORDINARY WORLD then. He made a striking first appearance, when third behind Milsean, in a two mile maiden hurdle at Navan on November 23rd. It's reasonable to expect the Milan gelding to progress somewhat on that. If that proves to be the case he'll surely be there at the business end now. Railway Rule is a consistent type. He could easily feature strongly if first-time blinkers do the trick. Keep an eye on Fiosrach in the betting too. He won twice on the level for Jim Bolger and begins now for Denis Hogan.
