LOW LIE THE FIELDS is on an upward curve and strongly fancied to notch a quick hat-trick now he steps up further in trip after his dominant successes at Limerick and Punchestown. Beyond The Law figures on a good mark if ridden less aggressively than at Naas last time so could pose the biggest threat, although Kellyiscool could also have a say if building on his recent Fairyhouse fifth.
