FormscanBy Gary Carson - CHICAGO BEAR looks to have benefitted from getting his head in front here last month and may be able to land the hat-trick now. Johnny Murtagh's charge had been knocking on the door in handicap company before getting up late on to win here last month. He went on to add to that with a gusty success at Leopardstown and may have been value for a bit more than the winning margin last time. There might be another win in him despite a 7lb rise for his latest victory. There are a couple of others coming into this in winning form. Magic Chegaga was a narrow winner at Limerick last time and may find this tougher after a 4lb rise. Daylight Come won well in Fairyhouse just over two weeks ago but was hit with a 9lb hike for that victory.
