FormscanBy Gary Carson - CHALKY WHITE comes into this in fine form and may be able to strike again. He ran a solid race to finish third at Naas last time in a competitive looking contest, won by Epson Du Houx, and is only a pound higher now. The Getaway gelding had been a good winner at Limerick prior to that and this trip and ground look good for him. Spare Brakes returns to chasing having been placed twice over timber recently. He has a mark 11lb higher back over the larger obstacles. Chief Of Police had a spin on the Flat last time and has to be respected back over fences having been runner-up at Punchestown previously.
