FormscanBy Mark Nunan - WA WA had fairly modest form over hurdles but made a very good start over fences when going down by only half a length to The Dabbler at Ballinrobe. The winner is an experienced 116-rated handicapper and a reproduction of that run would make the Yeats gelding hard to beat. That’s Lifebuoy has run two solid races in mares’ chases and, with a mark of 108, she’s preferred to stablemate Nymphhall who is rated 4lb lower but ran well on her most recent chase start when fourth at Limerick. Gelee Blanche is one of the lesser lights in her yard but her third at Tramore was a step-up on previous efforts in this sphere, while point-to-point winner First Touch ran quite well in a handicap hurdle at Galway during the summer and has some hunter chase experience to draw upon. %0A%0A%0A
