Straight - Yielding to Soft. Round - Yielding View all races

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Successful in this race 12 months ago, CHALLY CHUTE(2) can make it back-to-back wins. Lightly raced in the interim, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding once again showed his liking for this venue when defying topweight to land the Irish Cesarewitch on his penultimate start. While a trip to France failed to yield dividends last time, connections had expressed concerns about the gelding travelling so far from home. Back on familiar territory now, the veteran can add to his fine course record. Amelia Earhart, who has been competing at the highest level for most of the season, is worth another try at this trip. If her stamina holds out, she is a huge danger. Asakir and Abbotsford are the unexposed horses.
