ALL THE CHIMNEYS (NAP) won a Navan handicap last January but has been a bit inconsistent subsequently, though was only headed at the final fence at Fairyhouse last time. He was pulled up in the race won by today's rival Spare Brakes at Listowel in September but that was over hurdles and he's 23lb better off taking his rider's claim into consideration so gets the vote. Inch Rise has been a disappointing favourite in his last two starts and may need further while the veteran Joxer has been placed just once in 10 starts over the bigger obstacles.
