FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ROOM TO ROAM is well exposed over hurdles but has had only five chase starts and has shown improved form in this sphere on his last two outings. Beaten just two lengths when third at Thurles, he returned from a break to be runner-up at Clonmel earlier this month and can go one place better, although connections will want the rain to stay away. Bite That won over hurdles at Tramore last summer and showed promise on chase debut at the same venue in January. He'll be better for a recent run over hurdles at this track and is another who prefers a sound surface. Elegant Dan bounced back to form with a big-priced win at Tramore and got a 6lb hike for that while Powerful Blue was a creditable fourth in a Clonmel handicap on chase debut and is another to consider.%0A
