Formscan By Donal Murphy - The top three are the ones to focus on and while the lowest rated of those with a mark, CHORTAL might be able to register a second course and distance win. Third at Ballinrobe on his penultimate start, he had a good pipe opener when fourth in a Corinthian Challenge race at the Curragh last weekend. Successful on the level here in April, Mick Collins is likely to go off favourite. Disappointing on his first two tries over flights, he made the breakthrough at Punchestown last month, beating Luker's Tipple into second. Winning two of his last three, Autumn Twist is the other leading hope, and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up on his recent Flat win.
