7/1
Maiden in France but won four of his six starts since joining this yard. Beat Inch Rock by 8L at Stafford Cross (good-to-soft) last month. Interesting runner if building on that success here.

11/1
Winner of his last two starts including a match at Aldington last month. Since taken a point-to-point at Parham (good-to-firm) at the end of April and is unbeaten (2/2) under today's rider.

Excitable Island13
Age: 10|  Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: N Padfield| OR:  92
15/8
Won his first two starts this season including when beaten Inch Rock by 1L at Cherrybrook (good) last month. Placed in the Intermediate Final for the second year running at Cheltenham (good) over 3m2f last month and likely to run well here.

Supreme Danehillp47
Age: 9|  Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Joe Hill(5)| T: A Hill| OR:  76
10/1
Still held chances when unseating rider three out over an extended 2m6f at Leicester (heavy) in February. Successful over 4m in a point-to-point on good ground at the beginning of April and an interesting runner here.

Swingbridge25
Age: 9|  Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Jonathan Bailey(3)| T: Miss L Thomas| OR:  94
11/2
Missed the 2015/16 season and registered his third career success when winning over 3m at Whitfield (good) last month. Yard have a 20% strike-rate with their hunter chasers in recent years (4/20).
6
Horse silk
Sybarite13
Age: 11|  Weight: 12-0| J: Mr S Davies-Thomas(3)| T: Miss V Collins| OR:  111
9/4
Enigmatic individual who put in one of his better performances when 2L second over an extended 4m at Cheltenham (good) last time out. Has a tendency to get outpaced at crucial stages and has a leading jockey booked to ride today.
7
Horse silk
West Lakep1,t117
Age: 7|  Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Andrews(5)| T: D Phelan
20/1
Record his third win of 2017 when winning by a head in a point-to-point at Northaw (good) earlier this month. Also successful on good ground at Parham and Horseheath this season but likely that more is needed to take this contest.

Forecasts

Excitable Island (15/8), Sybarite (9/4), Swingbridge (11/2), Apple's Queen (7/1), Supreme Danehill (10/1), Crack Of Thunder (11/1), West Lake (20/1)

Verdict

EXCITABLE ISLAND ran well in finishing runner-up in a hot Intermediate Final at Cheltenham earlier this month and he can register a first win over regulation fences by taking this novices event. Of his rivals here the inconsistent Sybarite has disappointed over the larger obstacles in the past but put in one of his better efforts when finishing runner-up at Cheltenham last time out while proven stayer Supreme Danehill and the ex-French-trained Apple's Queen can fight it out for third.
  1. Excitable Island
  2. Sybarite
  3. Supreme Danehill
