FormscanBy Gary Carson - NEVERADULLMOMENT looks capable of picking up a prize like this off his current mark. The Mahler gelding wasn't helped by a few mistakes, and getting hampered three from home, before finishing third to St Denis's Well at Down Royal last time. He has been knocking on the door and Aine O'Connor is a positive booking now. Jody Townend takes the mount on Klarc Kent for Willie Mullins and the top-weight commands plenty of respect. He has been running in some decent beginners chases and was a good third to Senior Chief at Punchestown last month. Favori Logique was a good third over a marathon trip at Leopardstown last time and could be each-way material off a light weight.
