Useful rules performer in his youth and unseated rider early on in hunter chase debut prior to finishing runner-up to a useful horse at Chaddesley Corbett last month. Subsequently ran out the easy 60L winner of a hunter chase at Wincanton and looks the one to beat here.
Teenager who ran well when finishing a 1L third (highly rated ex-rules horse second) at Kelso last month. Finished runner-up in two hunter chases at Hexham last year and likely to put in another good show here.
Winner of two of his last three point-to-point outings including over 3m5f last time out. Has won over this trip in the past but likely better over further these days but is another to note here.

LOCH BA can follow up his easy Wincanton success by taking a second hunter chase of the season. The selection had this pilot on board on that occasion and is taken to get the better of the veteran Wicklow Lad who regularly runs well in these events and Wind Of Hope who was successful last time out.
