FormscanBy Alan Magee - LAKE CHAD won a handicap hurdle at Limerick last November and this looks a good opportunity after being placed on both chase starts this spring. The selection was just denied by Clonmoyle in a similar event over course and distance in April and again ran with credit behind Siberian Prince at Limerick last week. Coole Arcade has the most recent winning form having scored over hurdles at Tipperary a fortnight ago and is sure to be well schooled for this chasing debut. Tech Talk ran well twice over the cross country course at the Punchestown Festival, while others to consider include Brideswell Lad and Famous Escape. The latter has been lightly raced since winning a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle nearly two years ago while the selection’s stablemate Leac An Scail Lady also reappears after a lengthy absence.
