CHAMPELLA has been shaping up well recently and is taken to resume winning ways. Hands On wasn't seen to best effect on his Punchestown handicap debut and remains an interesting one for handicaps, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Ballywilliam Boy was a good second at Tramore last week and also makes the shortlist along with Luminous Light.
