FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Gigginstown had the numerical advantage in the previous heat but it’s three each for the County Westmeath based powerhouse and J P McManus here. Gordon Elliott trains two of the maroon and white clad contenders, with Jack Kennedy on Elwood and Gavin Brouder on Gun Digger. Whatever way it’s viewed this looks seriously competitive, and still it’s difficult to get one’s mind away from CHATHAM STREET LAD. Since returning from a 463 day break in October Mick Winters has done a great job in securing two wins from three outings with his Beneficial gelding. He didn’t always impress with his fencing at Cork last time, but the eight-year-old appears to be on a real upward curve. Two and a half miles is a bit of a question, and the assessor isn’t making it easy for him either. However Chatham Street Lad is taken to come up with the answers again. The selection finished behind Pakens Rock at Galway and that handicap chase first timer is another that can have a say.
