Verdict

The Chapel Field was a winner at Fairyhouse on Tuesday and is much-respected under a 5lb penalty here, albeit this is a very quick turnaround and he drops significantly in trip. SOLAR HEAT also won at that venue but has the benefit of nine days recovery time. She showed a nice gear chance to get the job done and, with Paul Cawley taking 7lb off, should be going close again in this line-up with a repeat run. Percy B Shelley is a danger under the champion jockey for the first time while Zinat should be sharper for her return a fortnight ago.
