FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Although finding one too good on each of his last four starts over fences, the Gavin Cromwell trained DUTCH SCHULTZ can reward supporters patience. A three-time winner, the son of Golden Horn is nicely treated by these race conditions, while the small field is unlikely to trouble him. Point-to-point winner Mayor's Walk made a winning start to her chasing career at Limerick in May. The Henry De Bromhead trained mare has to concede weight to a trio of rivals but could prove up to the task. Slip Of The Tongue is undoubtedly well in at these weights but the seven-year-old has been below his best in recent times. However, given the excellent form of trainer Padraig Roche, a revival wouldn't be out of the question.
