The veteran Analyse That has really found his form over hurdles in recent weeks and though he hasn't done as well over fences he's on an 8lb lower mark. All The Chimneys didn't run very well at Navan last time but his earlier run at Clonmel puts him in the frame for this. MINDSMADEUP (NAP) is still a maiden over fences but only just failed to concede 12lb to Luckyinmilan at Clonmel and the winner, who runs in the previous race, went on to complete a double. With Liam Gilligan's claim a bonus, he can go one better. Soul Kaliber has been extremely disappointing though in slightly better grade but Bellgrove is only 1-28 over fences.
