FormscanBy Gary Carson - Only four go to post but it's a competitive little heat and DUTCH SCHULTZ gets the vote after a couple of solid runner-up efforts. Gavin Cromwell's charge was collared late on in a handicap at Navan last time and this looks like a nice opportunity back in novice company. Henn See is the only winner over fences in the field and has to carry a penalty as a result. He was disappointing in a very competitive handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival last time but has to be respected dropping in class now. Doyen Ta Win makes her chase debut and is sure to make a bold bid from the front if taking to the larger obstacles.
