FormscanBy Gary Carson - Point-to-point winner SENIOR CHIEF should appreciate going up to two-and-a-half miles on his second outing over timber. The Gentlewave gelding has been placed twice since joining Henry de Bromhead. The bumper in which he chased home Monbeg Park at Cork last season has worked out well and he was just a bit untidy over the last two when losing out to The Four Sixes on his debut over timber at Clonmel in November. With that experience under his belt he looks the one to beat now. Gordon Elliott runs two and Jeepydoff Meel can confirm placings with his stablemate Abbeydale having been ahead of him when the pair were third and fourth to Haxo over course and distance late last month.
