All The Chimneys has won four times in the past year including over the course and distance in January. However, he only had a couple of lengths to spare over ONTOPOFTHEWORLD (NAP), who was conceding 21lb, so with a 15lb pull here the runner-up should have few problems taking revenge and going one better. Show And Go scored on quick ground at Downpatrick in September and on soft going at Punchestown in December. He's only 4lb higher so should give a good account again as should I Knew Well, who won over this trip at Fairyhouse in December and didn't stay 2m5f at Leopardstown later in the month. Winning point-to-pointer and hunter-chaser James hasn't done so well in handicaps and was beaten a long way when runner-up last time.
