ALL THE CHIMNEYS has had a terrific winter over hurdles and fences, winning twice and placed three times. He couldn't quite cope with Dylrow at Fairyhouse last time but that was no disgrace and it will be a surprise if he's not in contention. He only just beat Perfect Leader over this trip at Clonmel earlier and the runner-up, who didn't enjoy stepping up to 2m4f next time, will be 5lb better though a career record of 0-26 doesn't inspire confidence. Seskin Flyer completed a double over fences in December before failing to take advantage of a lower hurdles mark last month. He's better over slightly further and is another who could do with easier conditions. Crazyheart won a novices' chase at Tramore before reverting to hurdles and has the scope to do better but The Jam Man, though five times a winner over hurdles, has run poorly in all three starts over fences.
