Keepatem takes 14lb hike in the weights.

Mouse Morris´ Paddy Power Chase winner Keepatem has been raised 14lbs for his win at Leopardstown over Christmas.

The resulting weight increase means Morris is not certain to run the gelding in the E100,000 Pierce Handicap Chase over the course and distance this Sunday.

Morris reported 'while I expected a penalty, I feel 14lbs is quite a lot as, after all, he won only four lengths.' He added 'he could well end up running in a novice chase on the same day instead, but I won´t make a decision on which race he goes for until later in the week.'
