FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Paul Townend is dispatched to Limerick for his only ride of the day on ASTERION FORLONGE which can win. A high class Grade 1 winning novice hurdler, he was a good winner of last month's maiden chase at Punchestown (the runner-up jumped to his left but won since) and while he has a tendency to jump to his right, today's right-handed track will suit. Pencilfulloflead was beaten 10L by ASTERION FORLONGE in a maiden hurdle last January but that was over two miles which was turned out to be too sharp for Pencilfulloflead. Pencilfulloflead has since done very well in staying novice chases and while he comes here a Grade 2 chase winner, drops back in trip today which isn't ideal. Janidil is another smart type but might prove vulnerable to a high class performer. Colreevy is a capable mare and while she won easily at Punchestown last month, that was a Rated Chase and she steps up markedly here. Assemble, beaten 6L by the selection in a point-to-point was a well beaten second in the Drinmore Chase last month and should struggle to win this.
