FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MUNTAHEZ looks nicely handicapped over hurdles, having shaped well behind a real improver at Punchestown. Aidan Howard has his horses running out of their skins at the present time and this six-year-old is rated to go close. At these weights, the Howard gelding should confirm form with He's Leading Me On, who was back in third place at the County Kildare venue. The latter horse has since finished second at Tramore so holds leading claims again. Beat Of The Sea was a beaten favourite at Wexford recently but had run well at that same track on her previous start. Clody Valley is well treated over hurdles but looks a better chaser, while Karla Martina and Presenting Lad are others to consider.
