FormscanBy Gary Carson - MISTERGIF was highly tried over hurdles last season and is a nice prospect for chasing this term. The Zarak gelding was fifth in the Supreme Novices' and also finished fourth in Grade 1 company at Aintree. The form of his runner-up effort at Punchestown looks good with the winner Gorgeous Tom a Grade 3 winner at Cork earlier this month. Stablemate Western Diego was bought from the Clipper Logistics dispersal and was Grade 2 placed over hurdles last season. He's a strong second string. Former stablemate Ho My Lord has the chase form in the book. He chased home Farren Glory at Naas last time and is entitled to be thereabouts again.
