CHAKISTO (NAP) was making his handicap debut over hurdles at Listowel after four very moderate runs in maidens but showed that there is a race of this nature in him with a narrow defeat by Pleased As Punch. A 3lb rise is wiped out by his young rider's claim and he should go one better. Gold Tantrum finished 6l behind that day and had been running well previously so the form looks strong. Chief Of Panama is getting closer to that elusive first victory and his finishing position sequence suggests this could be his day though his recent runs have been over further. Waterloo Sunrise has a career strike-rate of 1-45 which offers little encouragement but Bank The Bucks can carry his big weight with distinction providing the ground stays on the fast side as he's produced some very good runs in the conditions.
