CHALKY WHITE was always travelling nicely when landing a Limerick handicap on heavy ground and with just a 3lb rise to contend with can go in again. Yaha Fizz won twice over hurdles here and would have a chance second to none on his Punchestown victory in February and he's been racing in better company. Dakota Moirette has been in good form without quite getting there and is still a maiden over fences after 22 starts. Ificudiwud makes his handicap debut from what could prove a lenient mark though Epson Du Houx is a more likely threat after an impressive victory in a Clonmel beginners' event. Chief Of Police was having only his fourth start over fences when runner-up at Punchestown and has to be considered with his rider's claim to aid his cause.
