Going - Good, Good to Yielding in places. Showery

Formscan By Alan Magee - CHEERFUL CHAP won twice over hurdles last year and has been a model of consistency since over fences. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding has been placed on all five outings since returning last December and only found Canal End too good when stepping up to 3m last time in a valuable Navan handicap. Freddie Robdal returned to form when successful over a similar trip here last time, but it looks significant that Darragh O’Keeffe now partners stablemate She’s A Fine Wine. Nt Field Minnesota scored on her chasing debut at Killarney last August but was let down by her jumping when disappointing on both outings since.
