FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A chance is taken that SNUGSBOROUGH BENNY can convert his smart chase form to hurdles and win today. He progressed well over fences in 2018 and has become an able handicap chaser in recent times, filling fourth in the Irish National in April and third in last July's Galway Plate. He has been soundly beaten in each of his last two handicap hurdle outings (since September 2017) but both those hurdle races came in the weeks prior to tilts at big chases and the hope today is all his ducks are lined up for a crack at this valuable pot, being rated 26lbs lower over hurdles than fences. Treacysenniscorthy beat eight of today's rivals when winning over CD at Christmas and while penalised 9lbs for that most recent win, remains open to more improvement given he only now seems to be coming to himself. He has obvious claims, along with smart chaser Tout Est Permis (fourth at Christmas) has as yet failed to make use of his own 26lbs lower hurdles' mark than fences' rating. Stacks Mountain was third to Treacysenniscorthy at Christmas and while he ran a cracker from a light weight then, is reasonably well exposed in general and is now 3lbs higher and without his 7lbs claimer at Christmas. Thorough stayer The Jam Man beat Tout Est Permis to win at Navan in December and while beaten at Chepstow in New Year's Day, nonetheless ran another solid race and today's rider now claims a helpful 5lbs. Gran Geste was third in that Navan race and appears the pick of the McManus-owned runners. He is progressing nicely, is already a proven performer in this grade and should go well with trip and ground in his favour. Gardens Of Babylon, third in last season's Triumph Hurdle, ran well when second in a Grade 3 race at Limerick over Christmas but is best watched on his experiment with running over three miles today. Similarly owned Morosini won over 2m4f at Cork latest and raised 9lbs for the win, is now ridden by a 7lbs claimer and is open to some more progression upped in trip. Silver Sheen won a Warwick handicap from a British 130 rating recently and while he faces a much stiffer task today, can go well as he pursues a four-timer. Column Of Fire won on his sixth maiden hurdle attempt at Punchestown latest and while he lacks handicap experience, could be well suited to stepping up in trip here. Alohamora won an ordinary handicap easily at Fairyhouse latest and can play her part today from the lightest weight.
