FormscanBy Mark Nunan - YAIZA lacks experience over fences but is a Tramore specialist and caught the eye when staying on well to finish eighth over hurdles at Galway. He managed to win over two miles at this venue on his only start over fences last October, but this distance will suit better and this will have been his target for some time given that he’s a three-time course winner. Tune The Chello is another handicap chase first-timer with prospects after a good win over this trip at Limerick (third won since), while the unexposed Centurion Steel and My Oaklahome are course and distance winners to consider. The ground went against easy Downpatrick winner Arrycan last time and he’s not ruled out along with topweight Woodbrook Boy, who’s another to have won around here and got on well with 7lb claimer Shane Fenelon when making all over hurdles at Listowel earlier in the summer.%0A
