FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Barry Connell tends to do well at this time of year when the jumps season is stepping up a gear and CALL THE TUNE is interesting on his chasing bow. The Gold Well gelding was well clear of the remainder when second to Thursday’s impressive chase winner Ballyshannon Rose over hurdles in January. He’s been off since and might want further but the testing ground here will bring his stamina into play. Presented Well returned from a long lay-off to be third on his chase debut at Listowel and, with the run under his belt, may reverse form with Gevrey who was runner-up on that occasion. Dual chase winner Robinnia will have plenty of supporters but her best form is on good ground whereas Razzle Dazzle Love will enjoy the ground and could be dangerous from the front. Experienced novice Choungaya is well exposed but has won on this type of surface and his fourth in a Grade 3 contest at Punchestown was a creditable effort.
