FormscanBy Michael Graham - This trip is probably as short as BOCELLI'S VOICE wants, but there was merit in his fourth place on chasing debut at Thurles last month. He was beaten by a very in-form winner and the third home franked the form in no uncertain terms with a close second in a Grade 3 novice chase at Limerick. Bocelli's Voice has form on better ground in his point-to-point days. Clear The Clouds made the breakthrough over flights in Naas and is swiftly sent over fences. He has to be respected on chasing debut with his confidence boosted now. Paul Nolan's runners always merit a second glance here. His chasing-debutant Chiefs Kingdom has three placed efforts in maiden hurdles to call upon and drying ground holds no fears for him.
