FormscanBy Michael Graham - Chillie Billie will be popular after his two and a half length success in a seven furlong Naas handicap. However, he is up to a mark of 74 and has never won off a rating that high so looks opposable. It might pay to side with TRINITY FORCE. The four-year-old gelding is lightly raced having been seen six times on a racecourse. Since getting off the mark in a Dundalk maiden, he has become accustomed to competing in valuable handicaps over seven furlongs and a mile. He hasn't been beaten far in his races and perhaps the switch to six furlongs can do the trick. He is dropping down in class from contesting the Paddy Power Handicap at the Curragh. His trainer Ger Lyons has won the last two runnings of this race. Fast In The Wind is unexposed having returned from 18 months off track when finishing fifth at Dundalk in April. If he can build on that he can be dangerous stepping up in trip.

An extended handicap for three yrs old and upwards (90 = 9st 10lb)
Weights - Top weight in the original handicap; shall not be less than 9st 10lb
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 5lb extra; for each race won. Any horse rated above 90 shall initially be treated as having that rating and the highest weight allotted shall be 9st 10lb. Subsequently, the excess over 90 in any rating shall be added to the weight allotted to that horse. (For the purpose of this note, any three year old rated above 90 shall have the applicable weight for age allowance then prevailing deducted from the horse's rating prior to the original calculation of the handicap)
