Solid enough form for this type of race, with the usual caveats about jockeyship made, horses with fairly useful handicap form coming to the fore; the winner set a fast pace, quickly stringing the field right out. LOOSE CHIPS went one better than in the Royal Artillery here last month, showing plenty of guts after cutting out a strong gallop; soon led, jumped well, mistake fifteenth, ridden when headed 2 out, led again flat, found plenty; likely to continue in form. MERRION SQUARE (IRE) winner of this race in 2013, ran well back over fences after 7 months off, looking the winner for much of the straight; mid-field, in touch seventh, blundered tenth, led under pressure 2 out, headed run-in, stayed on. A TAIL OF INTRIGUE (IRE) ran well after just 6 days off, staying the longer trip; dropped out, headway fifteenth, pushed along 4 out, chased leaders straight, kept on. BALLYALLIA MAN (IRE) ran respectably, not far below the form he showed when third in the Royal Artillery here last month; in touch, effort 3 out, one paced.
