A low-grade handicap in which Chief Seattle reverts to hurdles after a couple of runs over fences including a victory at Ballinrobe. He'll enjoy the trip and ground while Ceanndana showed improved form at Killarney, when Cassidys Girl was just behind, and neither will need much more to get competitive. The four-year-old CHINOOK (NAP) produced a much better round of jumping when leading for a long way over 2m6f at Galway. She has more scope than most of these and gets the nod to lose her maiden tag. My Friend The Wind and Appian Way are others to note.
