SPILLANE'S TOWER is Mark Walsh's pick of the three JP McManus-owned runners and could take plenty of stopping if he takes to fences at the first attempt. The 5-y-o progressed in four runs over hurdles last season, culminating in a solid second in a Punchestown novice, and he could make up into a useful chaser. Clifton Warrior has found just one too good on each of his two starts over fences and is feared most ahead of The Big Chap, who recently belied odds of 50/1 in a Fairyhouse maiden chase.
