Formscan By Mark Nunan - Point-to-point winner SENIOR CHIEF was second in a Cork bumper in the spring and that form has worked out well. He was a beaten favourite on last month's hurdling debut at Clonmel, where he had IK's Man back in sixth, but that form has also been boosted with the third winning easily earlier in the week. This longer trip should suit Henry de Bromhead's charge and this looks a winnable contest. Chautuaqua won a Clonmel bumper on heavy ground and wasn't disgraced in a Listed contest at Cheltenham. Her hurdling debut fifth at Thurles has been franked by wins for the first and second. Purse Price, placed in her last two starts over hurdles, has every chance of being in the money while Della Casa Lunga chased home a subsequent hurdles winner in a bumper on the inner track here last month. %0A
