Charles Byrnes has been unable to find a race for HARETH (NAP) since acquiring him from Charlie Swan but the seven-year-old should now be on top of his game after three runs following a break of almost three years and can start making up for lost time. Orchard Road gained a comfortable success here in December and was still in touch when falling three out at Cork a few days later. Goulane Chosen won over fences last month and arrives on a 9lb lower mark over hurdles but the consistent All The Chimneys looks more of a threat. He's been thriving in testing conditions over fences recently and is just as good over timber so should get into the frame again. Lizzies Champ took advantage of very testing ground when scoring here in December and any further rain would aid his cause.
