Memory Tree was trained and ridden by Paul Power when scoring at Listowel and he retains the ride, despite a change of stables. His 7lb claim will come in useful and his mount will now be receiving weight from Paranoid, a winner over hurdles at Galway who found three miles too far at Down Royal. THE CHAPEL FIELD has improved with every run over fences, leading three out and staying on strongly to score at Thurles. This doesn't look much tougher and he's only 4lb higher. Fag An Bealach made a successful chasing debut over 2m3f at Downpatrick then found the minimum too short at Clonmel so she looks a threat but Krisquin, an impressive winner at Leopardstown in March, has a long absence to overcome.
