CHAMONIX, by Galileo out of Irish Oaks runner-up L'Ancresse, makes a very quick reappearance after his debut at Leopardstown last week where he ran very green. With that experience under his belt he can take care of this field of mainly jumpers including the useful chaser Bob Lingo, who is no doubt warming up for the Galway Plate. Clondaw Warrior won two bumpers and a maiden hurdle before failing in better company and he will enjoy the quicker ground more than most. Stamina is Dooney Rock's forte as he showed when scoring over 2m4f on heavy ground at Fairyhouse while Ballyadam Brook is taking his time to recapture form after looking a highly promising hurdler back in 2010.
