FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SNOW PUNT finished with a rattle when just failing to get up over a similar trip at Limerick and may go one better here. The nine-year-old has been consistent in his last few starts over fences and can gain a first success under Rules. Rhythmic Tune’s trainer has been amongst the winners lately and the Vendangeur gelding, a winner over hurdles in the autumn, is interesting on chase debut. Wyoming Baby was placed in a couple of handicap chases last spring and may have needed her return to action at Thurles, while Is Charlie Around ran well on his second start over fences here last week and takes a marked step up in trip. %0A
