THE CHAPEL FIELD won comfortably on his reappearance over this trip on heavy going at Fairyhouse then probably found 2m too sharp when scrambling home at Thurles. He's up another 9lb but is obviously progressive and a hat-trick beckons. Golden Glen showed real stamina when scoring over 2m5f on heavy going at Tramore and is another who wasn't suited by dropping back to the minimum here last time. Gunfire Reef has only won over fences and though 15lb lower over hurdles failed to take advantage at Wexford last time. Crimson Chief has never won under Rules nor has Cousin Pascal, another winner between the flags.
