FormscanBy Alan Magee - MOYROSS has gone over three years without a win but this looks a good opportunity to end the losing streak. The Noel Meade-trained gelding was a decent enough stayer over hurdles and the point-to-point winner was having his first start in a handicap chase last time at this venue. This looks a less competitive race and Eoin Walsh eases the burden with his 5lb claim. Cuneo has a similar profile to the selection in that he was a decent staying handicapper over hurdles and generally disappointing the last few years. Arverne didn’t show too much since joining Gavin Cromwell last season but there was definite encouragement on his reappearance over this course and distance. He was well-backed on that occasion and could well progress from the run.
