FormscanBy John O'Riordan - While an ease in the ground would be preferable, CHEF'S KISS might be well enough treated to register a first rules success. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding shaped with promise when a staying on third here over Christmas. Despite failing to build on that effort when down the field at Fairyhouse subsequently, he may not have been suited to dropping back in trip. A former point-to-point winner, the additional three-furlongs he encounters now is very much in his favour. The Sugarhill Lady boasts a similar profile, having caught the eye in maidens before disappointing on her most recent start. Bal Kauto departed four out on his reappearance after a long absence but is entitled to have come on from that outing. %A0
