FormscanBy Michael Graham - CHUTZPAL showed an aptitude for this surface when chasing home a well-handicapped winner just over a week ago. He raced prominently that day and is drawn to do the same in stall one. Qaabil is of interest up in trip. He won over a mile on his penultimate start in Gowran Park and kept on to get up for third over the same trip in Thurles. He has placed form on all-weather surfaces in Britain. Make The Switch has better claims than his form figures would suggest. He is reverting back to the Flat and his last victory came over CD. The handicapper has given him a chance and Colin Keane gets the leg up for the first time. Well Funded won over hurdles in Punchestown last month and competes off a very lowly mark. Muntahez is another to consider.
