1/4
In this grade he looks a class act having been a smart hurdler/chaser in the past for Nicky Henderson. Made the best of a good opportunity last time out at Warwick and is presented with a similarly soft one here.

6/1
Winner of a Cartmel maiden Hunter Chase in 2016 and although he looked laboured last time out he did stick on well and may have place claims here.

20/1
Multiple point-to-point winner who hasn't been seen under Rules since finishing fifth to Abbeyview at Cartmel last year. Looks as though a stiffer test will suit him and he'll get that here over 3m at Towcester.

Hunters Lodgep,t44
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Gareth Henderson(7)| T: A Hill| OR:  115
20/1
A winner in point-to-points he still has problems with consistency and looks a very hard ride.

The Rodeo Clown10
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-12| J: Mr S Burton(7)| T: G E Burton| OR:  84
66/1
Twelve wins in point-to-points but had never looked as good under Rules and races very lazily at times.

U Me And Themv10
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: Miss K Lyons(7)| T: Miss Hannah Taylor
50/1
Pulled-up on both his starts in Hunter Chases and not the best of jumpers and looks to have an uphill task here.

Horse silk
Dabinett Moon10
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-5| J: Mrs C Hardwick(3)| T: Mrs F J Marriott| OR:  106
15/2
Winner of 50% of his point-to-points (10/20) and although she managed to finish second in a Hunter Chase last time out she was beaten 51L.

Forecasts

Bear's Affair (1/4), Abbeyview (6/1), Dabinett Moon (15/2), Done A Runner (20/1), Hunters Lodge (20/1), U Me And Them (50/1), The Rodeo Clown (66/1)

Verdict

BEAR’S AFFAIR looks the class act here and could well make this a very one-sided affair after his recent easy success at Warwick. Plenty of this are multiple winners in point-to-points but have struggled when races under rules with the possible exception of Abbeyview. Done A Runner looks as though he’ll enjoy this stiffer test and his recent form on point-to-points is a little bit better than the others that have raced in that sphere.
