FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CHOPSTICKS got off the mark in style when winning by five lengths at Sligo last month and the runner-up has franked that form. It was a deserved success for the five-year-old who had gone close several times previously, including at this venue, and he may be able to progress a bit more now after getting his head in front. Waystar won over course and distance in the spring and returned to form at Ayr last time. She gives trainer John McConnell a strong hand in this contest. Captain Hanley was beaten less than a length over this trip at Tramore and a subsequent run on the beach at Laytown will have freshened him up.%0A%0A%0A
