Bottom weight Emancipator has been supported in the 3m7f handicap chase at Punchestown at 3.10.
Terence O'Brien 's charge, a winner at Clonmel earlier this month, is into 11/2 from 12/1. He's 6lb out of the handicap but John Shinnick's claim means he has just 9st 7lb on his back.
Queens Brook (ground) is a notable absentee from the Mares' Champion Hurdle at 3.50 in which Echoes Of Rain, the choice of Paul Townend, has been backed from 3/1 into 15/8 with Love Envoi just about holding onto favouritism at 6/4.
