The Sean Aherne-trained CHOSEN HOUR was still going well and in contention when 1L clear making an horrendous blunder two out to unseat luckless rider at Fairyhouse last month. The seven-year-old failed in a hat-trick bid in that contest but can back to winning ways here seeing off the attentions of Princess Mahler, Galuppi and Mutadaffeq.
