FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GREY JUDE is consistent and capable and is suited by today’s conditions. The selection has kept useful company in his career thus far and ran well when conceding 2lb to Raise You Up at Naas last month. He has a nice weight, likes this distance and has form on testing ground. Vitorio Piel was a debut Punchestown festival bumper winner last May and while he it is disappointing that he hasn’t won over hurdles since, had a veterinary excuse after his hurdling debut. He might ideally prefer farther than today’s distance but should get involved. Chichester Park was well held in a January handicap but has solid place claims on previous form.
