All The Chimneys deserves huge respect switching to hurdles having been in cracking form over fences of late. He was running nicely around the turn of the year in this sphere and it will come as no surprise should he pick up where he left off. Balynaclash Warior was behind him at Fairyhouse in December but is weighted to close the gap now while Rebel Cry is greatly respected having run well at that venue as recently as Sunday and he comes here on the same mark. HARETH has been showing enough in three runs back from an absence to suggest he'll grab a prize of this ilk somewhere soon and he is given the nod now in a first-time visor. Despite being a bit disappointing since arriving in this country, it is too soon to write off Soir De Chantenay. Switching to hurdles, Goulane Chosen is handicapped for a bit run based on his previous form.
