FormscanBy Gary Carson - BACHASSON is enjoying a terrific season at the age of ten and can give weight away to his rivals here. The grey posted an impressive effort over timber at Naas last time when making all and should prove hard to peg back on his return to fences now. These small field events seem to suit him. On official ratings Daly Tiger comes out best in receipt of 5lb from the selection. He won a competitive handicap contest in decisive fashion at Fairyhouse in January and deserves his place in this grade now. Having had some issues in the past he looks in a good place now but still needs to prove himself in this class. Castlegrace Paddy and Annamix are others who wouldn't be far away at their best but Bachasson is fancied to dominate.
