The veteran Cerca Trova was left in the lead at the last to score at Tramore on New Year's Day and though fortunate that day she had completed a double over timber early last year so this looks her time. Head Turner, four times a winner over hurdles, makes her handicap debut over fences after three moderate runs and it's a very long time since Mister First won a race though he's been dropped 2lb after a better run at Limerick. Rightback Atya has never won in 10 starts over fences so a chance is taken with ALL THE CHIMNEYS. He's disappointed recently but is on the same mark as when beaten in a photo-finish at Navan in March having won there a few weeks earlier.
