Formscan By Gary Carson - WEE CHARLIE is of obvious interest here off his lower chase mark. The Court Cave gelding has been in fine form over timber since joining Ger O’Leary last summer, winning his first two before a couple of solid runner-up efforts. He has been runner-up over fences previously and looks capable of exploiting this rating. In The Trenches has been running in some very strong beginners chases and could get a lot closer now in handicap company off a competitive looking mark. Mahlers Cove ran a solid race back over fences last time and has place prospects again.
