Formscan By John O'Riordan - Punchestown runner-up SQUIRE OHARA looks to have been found a nice opportunity to register a first success on the track. Successful in a point-to-point at Loughanmore last month, the Tony Martin-trained gelding ran a big race when chasing home a short-priced favourite at the Festival. A seven-year-old who had previously shown promise under Rules before going back pointing, he is open to further improvement this season. Placed a few times over hurdles earlier in his career, Chiefs Kingdom ran well when runner-up on his point-to-point debut at Ballycahane in March. Paul Nolan's gelding looks the biggest threat to the selection, although King In The Park has to be respected coming from the David Christie academy.
