CHESTERFIELD has run well in his past two starts and looks a better horse than last season. If he has the ability to maintain his recent level of form he looks to have an outstanding chance especially if the ground gets any more testing. Marracudja reserved his best performance for this contest last season and although he needs to bounce back from some recent below par efforts, he may still go well. Eamon An Cnoic showed on his latest outing he may be ready to hit top form and this sub-two mile distance may prove to suit.
