FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Given the ease with which he won on the flat at Killarney last month, it is difficult to ignore the claims of CHUTZPAL back over hurdles. Having had just the four starts over flights for previous connections, the five-year-old looks seriously well handicapped off just 95 in this bottom grade. Getaway Henry won at Wexford last month, before finishing third off a revised mark at that same venue last time. Daniel O'Leary's seven-year-old will need to take another step forward here but as an in-form gelding he has to be respected. Bella Be Good improved on previous efforts when runner-up at Wexford on her most recent outing. Although she needs to back up that performance, the Edward Cawley-trained mare has to be considered.
