FormscanBy Tom Weekes - JERANDME was taken out of a race at Killarney on Tuesday due to deteriorating ground conditions and might reward connections' patience with a win here. A dual bumper winner, he is a consistent performer and comes here fit and well having run a cracker on the flat at the Curragh last month. He is sure to be well schooled but wouldn't want the ground to become soft. Star Max has a chase rating of 135 and is a dual flat and dual hurdle winner. He steps down markedly in grade for this having competed at a higher level during the winter, has won on good ground in the past but could prove vulnerable to JERANDME. Demain Des L'aube similarly competed at a high level last year and while his form was a little in-and-out, this race is also a drop in grade. He was a winner at top French venue Autueil in March 2018 and were he to reproduce his Cork form from last October, should get involved on his first run at a tight track today. Happy Jacky was a useful hurdler but might struggle to win this on chase debut. Lever Du Soleil lacks a recent run but is a versatile performer who has two chase runs to his name and could play his part.
