FormscanBy Tom Weekes - THE CHAPEL FIELD has obvious form claims and can win. THE CHAPEL FIELD progressed well in handicap chases this winter and was touched off by another progressive horse (Espion Du Chenet) at Thurles last month and comes here as an improving 8yo who is well suited to trip and ground. Weihnachts is a danger having won well at Fairyhouse last month. Despite being raised 10lbs for that win, he remains unexposed and is also suited by trip and ground. Benefit North, was second to Weihnachts at Fairyhouse and can get involved on these revised terms while Argumental has made no impact in three beginners chase outings but drops to handicap company today rated 10lbs below his hurdle rating, albeit he hauls top weight.
