Chute Hall was just touched off by Rightdownthemiddle over the course and distance last month and the winning point-to-pointer looks certain to get into the action. Another winner between the flags, Guiding George, will have found Sligo's 2m2f too sharp when last seen in May and this looks much more to his liking. However, this looks destined for the champion trainer as FAUGHEEN, an easy winner of a point-to-point last year, made a spectacular start under Rules when slamming his field by 22l in a bumper here in May and could well be a future star.
