Ballycallan King found conditions too testing here last month and that is likely to be the case here. CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL did not mind heavy going when chasing home An Tobar at Fairyhouse and is progressing fast enough to go one better. Chiefs Kingdom acted on the ground when runner-up at Clonmel though was beaten 11 lengths while Simpletwistoffaith was beaten a long way on his only start in testing conditions. Ask The Bookie did not get the best of runs at Galway and may prove best of the remainder.
