PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
The 141-rated chaser CHEMICAL ENERGY finished third in the Munster National on this weekend 12 months ago, and he could return winning way for the first time in three years on his debut between the flags. Garm Colombe made the frame in this race last year, and tends to run well around here, finishing in the money in all five previously completed efforts here, whilst Routine Excellence is an interesting addition to the Sam Curling team.
