All The Chimneys arrives in good form having just failed to cope with a 5lb rise for his victory at Clonmel when a close third at Fairyhouse. He's up another 2lb but his rider's claim should ensure another big run. Reine Fee has yet to win but wasn't beaten far at Gowran and looks to be on the upgrade. The more rain the better for PRINCESS MAHLER (NAP), who won over the course and distance on heavy going in March. She's only had two subsequent runs and, with conditions likely to be in her favour, she looks the one to be on. Punters Poet makes her handicap debut and, though near the bottom of the weights, this is a stiff task for a three-year-old. Still Alive is 0-21 and was well beaten on heavy ground last time.
