Hi Cloy Likely Favourite For Kinloch Brae Chase The Michael Hourigan trained Hi Cloy is the likely favourite for the Grade 2 MacLochlainn Road Markings Kinloch Brae Chase at Thurles tomorrow after seven horses were declared for this ?50,000 contest. Winner of the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown in early December and the Paddy Power Dial-a-Bet Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas, Hi Cloy will be bidding to give trainer Michael Hourigan a second victory in the race having saddled Amberleigh House to win in the year 2000 and Andrew McNamara takes the ride. In what should be a very competitive event, recent course winner, Strong Project, and the Willie Mullins trained Mossy Green are likely to figure prominently while the John Joseph Murphy trained Newmill, third to Brave Inca and Harchibald over hurdles at Leopardstown last time out, is an interesting contender. Arthur Moore's Native Upmanship successful in this race on three consecutive occasions between 2002 and 2004 and fifth in last year's renewal, is once again due to take his chance as a sprightly 13 year old with his regular jockey Conor O'Dwyer on board.
