FormscanBy Tom Weekes - It is slightly concerning CONCERTISTA runs in a first-time tongue-tie but nonetheless can win. High-class, her form is consistent, she ran well when narrowly beaten at Cheltenham and brings recent form, course-form and an ability to handle a sound surface. Stablemate Stormy Ireland won a 2017 maiden hurdle by an incredible 58 lengths and has raced against top class performers in her day. She reverted to trainer Willie Mullins when winning a Fairyhouse Grade 2 but meets a proven, top form opponent in CONCERTISTA. Another stablemate Burning Victory is absent since winning the 2020 'Goshen' Triumph Hurdle and is interesting on reappearance. High-class, her lack of a recent outing isn't ideal and all her best form has been on testing ground. Skyace, formerly of Closutton, is a Grade 1 winning novice who meets open mares but is suited by trip and a sound surface. Minella Melody is capable but is held by CONCERTISTA and should struggle to win.
