FormscanBy Mark Nunan - CHESTERVILLE needs to jump better than when well-beaten at Limerick on Sunday but will enjoy getting back on better ground and Jordan Gainford claims a valuable 5lb. The Stowaway gelding won a maiden hurdle on a sound surface in July and ran well over nearly three miles when third in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last month. This trip looks on the sharp side for him but he might be able to put his chasing experience to good use in this company. Withallduerespect won a handicap hurdle at this venue in August and showed up well for a long way before fading on chasing bow at Downpatrick. She’s another who will appreciate better ground. Henry de Bromhead also runs Tisadream who won her maiden hurdle here in June. She has a higher hurdles mark than her main rivals but lacks both a recent run and chasing experience. %0A%0A%0A
