FormscanBy Tom Weekes - STONEY has found a level from which he can win here, coming here fit and fairly well with previous chase experience under his belt. He has run with credit on occasions, appears fairly versatile ground-wise and a reproduction of some of his better chase runs (his penultimate run can be ignored due to a bad mistake in-running) would give him every chance. Kildunne is a point-to-point winner who goes well on a sound surface and should benefit from his reappearance run recently. He has claims on best form but makes his chase debut here. Andiamos is a maiden after 19 starts but clearly has his supporters to be still housed in his plush hotel. He makes his chase debut now and while he needs to show some improvement to win, does have sound place claims on best hurdle form. Enjoy Responsibly has proven disappointing but it was just last April when he was able to prove competitive in maiden hurdles. He needs to return to that level but his recent form is poor. Old Castletown ran well enough latest at Tipperary and is helped by his previous maiden point-to-point experience.
