FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Eddie and Patrick Harty-trained AMERICAN MONEY looks well handicapped on his return to chasing. Having shown definite potential in three runs over fences earlier in the season, the eight-year-old ran very well in a couple of well contested handicap hurdles of late. Now tackling the larger obstacles off a mark which is 12lb below his hurdle rating, the gelding has to be respected. The hat-trick seeking Don't Talk looks a reasonable alternative for the Karl Thornton stable. With all four career wins having come on right-handed tracks, he should be at home around here. Course and distance winner General Clermont also commands respect for local trainer Davy Fitzgerald.%A0
