Formscan By Michael Graham - CHABLIS ROCK holds some notable entries and wasn't overly perturbed in shedding her maiden tag over further in Limerick. She is proven on rain-softened ground and could be a filly with a bit of scope now that she has got her head in front. Apercu has a creditable win ratio and has been plying her trade in decent handicaps. This is her trip and she is 2lb lower than her last winning mark. Fiver Friday is holding her form well on the Flat, and over hurdles, so is well in the hunt for a cheque. Beauparc, tough front-runner Thrifty Of Digby, and Chica Guerrera are others aiming to get into the mix.
