BetVictor Hugh McMahon Memorial Novice Chase (Grade 3)
3m
Going: Good to Yielding
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneEGALITY MANS steps up from his Wexford win but stays well and remains a shade unexposed. He had the measure of today's rival Torygraph when falling at Punchestown in December and while beaten next time at Fairyhouse, won easily at Wexford and is ideally suited by staying trips and goes on good ground. Course hurdle winner Lifetime Ambition was a good second in a Grade 3 chase a fortnight ago and was previously fourth in the Drinmore Chase on good ground. He could be suited by stepping up to this trip for the first time and there might not be much between him and the lesser exposed selection. Fancy Foundations was withdrawn from Cheltenham due to soft ground and while suited by today's sound surface, might bump into one or two too good. Darrens Hope might struggle to win while Mamaslittlestar already has black-type but was pulled up last month.
