Placed in the Pertemps Hurdle at Cheltenham CHAMIREY sets the clear standard on timber form and the chances are he won't have to be up to that to win on his chase bow. Don McCain's string are going well at present and this French Bred runner should continue that. Kellystown Lad has plenty to find on hurdles form but has shown promise and progress in two starts over the big stuff. Pokanoket was rated better of hurdles than the last mentioned and having shaped well enough on his chase bow could be value for the places while Howard Johnson had a good weekend so his County Colours is respected. A few future chase winners in here but for the now Chamirey should be scoring.
