FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Dual hurdles winner FANCY FOUNDATIONS won on his chasing bow in the spring and may be able to build on that victory. That was an ordinary contest at Down Royal but he won readily and has twice won after lay-offs, so the lack of a recent outing is not a concern. Having run against some top performers in beginners’ chases, Antey finally got off the mark at Limerick in May but his jumping issues have resurfaced in his two outings since then. He has the ability to win this if getting into a good rhythm but comes with risks attached. Mormon finished a good fifth in last year’s Troytown Chase and is tried in a first-time tongue-tie on his first start since January. He’s another with decent claims although this trip is probably sharp enough, while Blackstairs Rocco was a big improver in staying handicap hurdles this summer but faces a stiff task on his chase debut. %0A%0A%0A
