FormscanBy Gary Carson - LORD SCHNITZEL has found the winning groove since going point-to-pointing and can keep up the recent run of success back on the racecourse. He had some very good placed form on the track and was rated as high as 135 at one stage without getting his head in front. Dropping in grade seems to have done his confidence the world of good as he has rattled off a hat-trick in points and this is a nice opportunity now to score on the racecourse. Is A Real Champ came back to Sean Doyle having been placed a couple of times for Paul Nicholls and won his maiden at Curraghmore in October. He followed that up with a good runner-up effort in winners company last time and still looks relatively unexposed, so could be a danger now. Vital Island is probably better over the banks but could get involved in this company.
