FormscanBy Alan Magee - CHICAGO STORM dropped down the ratings last year and has shaped well since joining Chris Timmons this term. The dual-purpose gelding was beaten less than three lengths in a 23-runner mile handicap here last month before being placed over this trip at Naas. Uncle Albert impressed on his seasonal reappearance at Cork and should make a bold bid to follow up off a 6lb higher mark, while Rio Largo won on soft ground at the Galway Festival last year and is fit from the all-weather at Dundalk. Zephron won twice last autumn including a wide margin victory over C%26D but has gone up a total of 20lb as a result. Eastern Wind, Half Nutz and Fiver Friday are others for the shortlist.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (80 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
