Are Ya Right Chief will probably start a short-priced favourite here on the basis of his victory in a Fairyhouse bumper last time and his connections. However, he was a long way behind GOLANBROOK in a Punchestown bumper in May and the latter has done well enough over timber to suggest he can confirm the form though he'll need to be at his best. De Dodger has shown his best form over further though the testing ground should bring his stamina into play and he should be thereabouts. Skibabe is very stoutly bred and should do better when tackling further though he's one to keep an eye on in the betting.
