FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A dual course and distance winner, LIKABLE CHANCER should give a good account of himself. A close third on his most recent visit to this seaside venue on New Year's Day, the 12-year-old might now be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort over hurdles at Limerick. Second, third and fourth behind Live To Laugh at Thurles last month, Lake Chad, Long Road and Driveonwill all reoppose. The Philip Fenton-trained former is a three-time course winner and despite failing to fire at Wexford on his most recent start, he might be able to uphold that Thurles form. Placed in four of his last eight outings, Oogum Boogum is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others capable of making an impact in this moderate affair are Rideau Canal, the long absent Ballybrack Wood and top-weight Teescomponentsyess.
