FormscanBy Gary Carson - CHUTZPAL was an easy winner over course and distance last month and can follow up despite a 12lb hike for that victory. The Markaz gelding was making his second outing for Henry de Bromhead then and there may be more to come. Robyn Donaghue-Leahy claims 7lb off him now to offset some of that rise. Stariam has been knocking on the door in maiden company and looks on a fair mark now in handicaps. She should run a big race again. Jabbar has been in good form and looks another for the shortlist, hailing from the in-form Ger O'Leary yard.
