All The Chimneys (2/1), Maguire's Glen (7/2), Vicky's Charm (9/2), De Benno (7/1), Mount Brandon (7/1), Refused A Name (10/1), Hard Bought (12/1), Pashtunwali (14/1), Black Ice (20/1), One Can Cally (20/1), Coolnagorna Giggs (25/1)
ALL THE CHIMNEYS made the most of his chase mark to score at Navan last month and the way in which he did it suggested he had something more in reserve. With 8lb more to contend with here, he is fancied to give another good account of himself. Vicky's Charm is worth a look on handicap debut having run well enough in three outings over these obstacles while Hard Bought may do better back at this venue where he won in November. Refused A Name can bounce back from a poor effort last month to get into contention.
1. All The Chimneys
