Dan Skelton has his string in good form at present and CAPTAIN CHAOS can make a positive start to his hurdling career. The four year old was a ready winner of a bumper at Newcastle when trained by Tim Fitzgerald and he should have no problems with the ground. Karisma King has more experience than most and may be forgiven for requiring his first run after an absence of over a year. The well bred Supply And Demand was far from cheap at €70000 and while the soft ground will bring the evident stamina in his pedigree into play, anything achieved at this stage is likely to be viewed as a bonus. Fire won his point to point in Ireland on a softer surface, though has yet to show much aptitude under Rules.
