FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Stepping up to this trip for the first time under Rules should see CHEF'S KISS open his account. A former point-to-point winner, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding caught the eye staying on late to finish third at Limerick on his handicap debut over Christmas. Dropped back in distance on his latest two outings, the Mount Nelson five-year-old looked outpaced before running on late. Third in a bumper on his only previous visit to this track, he holds strong claims now faced with a test of stamina. Tramore winner Our Zebo came from well off the pace when runner-up over course and distance on his previous start. Sights Unseen also merits consideration stepping back up in distance.
