FormscanBy John O'Riordan - CHIEF SEATTLE isn't the easiest horse to win with but is undoubtedly well treated over hurdles. Although pulled up at Listowel last time, the John Ryan-trained gelding had been in good form prior to that disappointing effort. A winner over fences at Ballinrobe earlier this month, he can race off a lower hurdles mark here and also has Michael O'Sullivan taking off an additional 7lb. Tullyhogue Fort won the aforementioned Listowel race in taking fashion but has a slight question mark on this ground. With both career successes coming on a sound surface, he may not want to see too much rain. Cher Why Not stayed on strongly to win at Clonmel recently so should again be involved at the business end.
