Weatherbys Printing Open Hunters' Chase

Off time: 19:50 | Winning time: 5m 0.1s

Darwins Fox³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-4| J: Mr D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: D M Christie| OR: 141| D

2/5

Irish raider who's won a Leicester hunter chase on soft ground over 2m already this season. Ran well to finish sixth in the Aintree Foxhunters over 2m5f last month and while he disappointed at Cork last time out he looks likely to prove hard to beat today.

Form: 633164-

Can Mestret¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: S Andrews| OR: 102| C

2/1

Winner of this race in 2015 but has failed to score since. Beaten 5L into third at Garthorpe (good) in a point-to-point last time out. Had previously finished runner-up in a 2m4f point-to-point at High Easter (good) and this drop in trip should suit.

Form: 3P/2423-

Saqil^t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr W Hickman⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs L J Varnham| OR: 80

25/1

Returned from over four years off the track this season and failed to complete on his first three point-to-point outings. Beaten 56L when fourth over 2m4f (good) last time out and likely to struggle in this.

Form: PP/PPU-4

Vering^p¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Procter⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Linda Pile| OR: 72

66/1

Failed to complete on each of his last six outings including when falling at Parham (good-to-firm) last month. Drop in trip should suit but looks outclassed against a couple of these.

Form: PUPFPF-

Forecasts

Darwins Fox (2/5), Can Mestret (2/1), Saqil (25/1), Vering (66/1)

It's hard to look past DARWINS FOX in this contest. The selection has some good recent form and can get the better of Can Mestret who has won this in the past but has yet to beat anything with the class of the selection. Of the remaining two Saqil can get the better of Vering in the race for third place.
