FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The hope would have to be that we'll learn plenty here, but whether it's a race for a big interest betting wise might be open to question. Of the Gigginstown House Stud and Willie Mullins trio, Bryan Cooper prefers the exciting TELL US MORE, and himself, along with Free Expression, are probably the ones that take the eye most, given as both remain unbeaten. Free Expression has impressed at Naas before, when disposing of On Impulse (an opponent again here), and Uncle Danny, in fine style on November 8th. However, he looked like he still had a bit to learn about the game at Navan last time, and that sways me reluctantly away from the Germany gelding on this occasion. Killer Crow was good over 'c and d' the same day that Free Expression won here. I'd respect Ruby Walsh's mount as he has a nice way of going about the job. Couleur France was third in Grade 2 company, on his latest start, and whilst Tell Us More's achievements to date don't match some of his rivals, it's difficult not to be taken with the Scorpion six-year-old. The Codd academy, who know a good horse when they have one, had the height of regard for the youngster, and he justified their faith at Tattersalls Farm in December 2013. He since won very easily twice at Gowran, since joining the Mullins camp. His jumping was clean and assured, when he justified odds of 'fives on,' on November 22nd, and surely going up to two and a half miles now is of no concern. It's just a case of taking a chance with style over substance this time.
