PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
CITY CHIEF put in his best run of the season so far when making the trip to Belclare a fortnight ago. He got within ten lengths of the 144-rated hurdler Asian Master on that occasion, which has to bode well for his chances in this. A length and a half separated Beau Walking and In Excelsis Deo when their paths crossed at Comea last month, and Beau Walking has since added to his haul, including at Ballyragget last Sunday. The ground was particularly testing last week, so if that run has not left a mark he is a danger, whilst Journey With Me needs to bounce back.
