Formscan By Donal Murphy - HIPOP DE LOIRE is difficult to oppose. Second on his sole previous effort over flights, the Willie Mullins-trained eight-year-old is the current favourite for the Ebor at York next month. A never nearer fourth on his return to action in a Listed contest at Roscommon, it'll be interesting to see how he copes with this step-up in trip. Son Of Anarchy is an obvious danger. The 118-rated six-year-old was a runner-up when last seen at Punchestown and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. A good winner of a bumper at Wexford, Soldiers World is an interesting contender, while others for the shortlist are Cork fourth Plomeur, Tipperary runner-up Coded Welder and Tony Martin's Zanndabad. Despite flopping badly on his most recent start, Gorvitho is another that can't be dismissed.
