Kilmallock Beginners Chase
2m 3f
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneThe 136-rated Antey has clear prospects of getting his first victory over fences but will be priced accordingly. He is sure to appreciate these calmer waters after attempting to make all in a Grade A handicap chase at Punchestown before finishing eighth. An each-way play on HAZRAN could be rewarded. He won well at Killarney last week in a staying handicap on the Flat. He has had two cracks at chasing before and was still in contention when falling at Thurles in February. That was on very deep ground which he wouldn't have appreciated. Chasing debutant Winner Takes Itall is one to monitor for market strength. He has won on the Flat and over hurdles. Daisy's Hollow is another trying the bigger obstacles for the first time but won on her last start over hurdles in October.
