FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - JON SNOW and Kaatskill Nap face their former stable companion Skyace. Bargain buy Skyace has been quite the story so far, and she’d be writing a better chapter again were she to upstage the Closutton pair here. Paul Townend is hardly riding anything other than winners at present, and he prefers Jon Snow of the Mullins Galway winners. The selection didn’t have much to do at Ballybrit, but he did it well, and he now has a mark of 140. That’ll make him difficult to beat despite the fact that he concedes weight away all round. An extended two and three quarter miles could see the Le Havre gelding in an even better light. Nero Rock, Oscar Montel and Soldiers Hill are interesting in their own right. This could be tough for them though.
