FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Winner of his last two chase starts in March, LIVE TO LAUGH (17) holds a rating of 112 in that discipline, but can race off 94 here. After five months off, he ran very well when third in a 3m handicap hurdle at Listowel and should have benefitted from that run. Labondance had useful form in France and should be sharper after two maiden hurdle outings following a layoff. An initial mark of 105 could prove to be lenient. Smackwater Jack is a dual course winner over a little farther and is up 5lb for last week’s victory at Fairyhouse. The veteran enjoys a sound surface and will have conditions to suit once again. %0A
