Murphy Realistic About L'Ant Chance Ferdy Murphy is under no illusions as to the magnitude of the task which awaits L'Antartique at Leopardstown on Friday.The seven-year-old will take on the likes of Denman, The Listener and Beef Or Salmon is what is shaping up to be a riveting renewal of the Lexus Chase.Although L'Antartique is unbeaten this term, Murphy admits his Paddy Power Gold Cup scorer faces a huge test on his first try in Grade One company.'We are not stupid ? we know it is not going to be easy,' reasoned the West Witton trainer.'But he's going across really because we want to see how he gets on in a Grade One.'He will improve for the the run ? he's done plenty of work but he's probably not fully tuned-up.'L'Antartique, who won the Jewson Novices' Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival last term, is a 20-1 chance with Paddy Power to win the Lexus Chase.?
