Chapel Hall is nothing special on breeding, though is a half-brother to a winning hurdler who stayed 2m on the Flat so there will be no stamina issues. Desilvano and Thecorruptor have won point-to-points so will also stay while Maigh Dara won a bumper at Downpatrick in September last year, though has a penalty and hasn't raced since. MURPHYS WAY was well backed on his debut under Rules at Chepstow but, having come to win his race up the straight, could only muster the one pace in the closing stages. That should have put an edge on him and he can recoup losses here. Kincora Fort might be the pick of the remainder.
