FormscanBy Gary Carson - THEDEVILSCOACHMAN should appreciate going up in trip on his return to chasing here. He was last seen winning a Grade 2 contest over timber at Navan in February after connections abandoned a chase campaign. He had actually run very well on his chase debut when third to Ferny Hollow but didn't jump well when second to Saint Sam subsequently at Fairyhouse. Going further should slow things down a bit and he is a classy sort with a mark of 152 over timber. Sams Profile had the same rating when last seen over timber last Christmas and is a danger. He unseated that day in Grade 1 company and has had his jumping issues over fences as well so has questions to answer. Folcano ran a nice race when third on his chase debut at Listowel and he could get involved for prize-money again.
