FormscanBy Mark Nunan - PRIME CHIEF won eased down at Cork and can follow up off an 8lb higher mark. He was second over this trip here last year and his rider, Dylan Browne McMonagle, has won many admirers this season. The main danger is probably the topweight Wojood, a winner over 10f on his last visit here in July. He’s run a couple of nice races over hurdles since then and you’d imagine there’s more to come from this well-bred sort. Chateau Musar is getting the hang of things as he gains in experience and could reach the frame. Clonard Abbey ran well over course and distance last month and may leave behind her last outing at Thurles.
