FormscanBy Donal Murphy - KALPYSO'CHANCE might be able to get the better of stable companion Santo Sospir. While Jack Kennedy has opted to partner the latter, the selection is two from two at Navan and he'll be ably assisted by Josh Williamson, who claims a valuable 5lb. Gordon Elliott trains the aforementioned pair and they'll both be bidding to bounce back from disappointing efforts at Cork and Leopardstown respectively. Well-supported when successful at Punchestown in January, Shabby Hill will appreciate this step-up in trip and he warrants the utmost respect, while Timesareachanging is not without his chance, finishing third of five when last seen in a Grade 3 at Gowran. Astley completes the line-up and appears out of his depth.
