FormscanBy Mark Nunan - John Ryan is not one for leaving his horses in their boxes if there’s prize money to be gained and CHIEF SEATTLE has been kept busy since winning here last month where he finished well to collar the selection in the first division of this handicap, Sittingonthefence. The seven-year-old has been running well over fences including when fourth at Kilbeggan on Friday night and a 6lb rise for that course hurdles win could well look more manageable after the outcome of the previous contest. Townhill Penny has been in good form at Downpatrick and is up 5lb for a hard-fought victory there earlier this month. She has top weight while down the other end of the handicap, Western Dreaming has good claims on recent efforts. His Killarney fifth has worked out remarkably well with the winner, third and fourth all scoring since and his Tramore third has also been boosted since. Adele Co showed more when sixth in that Tramore contest and merits respect along with Whatsstoppingyou who twice ran well over 3m earlier in the summer.
