Formscan By Tom Weekes - CHAUTUAQUA, which runs in a first-time hood, finished second in a useful maiden when last seen in March. The winner of that Naas race was a Listed bumper winner who scored again subsequently, while the third, fifth and sixth-placed horses each won subsequently. She returns from a summer's break and runs from her same yard but for another IHRB licensee. Lookondebrightside finished second in last year's renewal under his same weight and rider and returned from a spell in the UK and following a layoff, recently. He should struggle to concede so much weight to the selection. Aeros Luck has been running well in summer hurdles and is closed matched with Our Girl Sal on Bellewstown form (being 2lb worse off today) while Ivy Hall finished fourth and is worse off weights-wise. Shoot Champagne was well held at Galway in July and while she has a light weight and runs for a local yard, has plenty on her plate on jumps debut. Nevermindestranger has some place claims while Smokey Putnum needs to improve.
