4/9

Useful hurlder who landed 2m novice at Cheltenham on hurdling bow before following up in good style at Newbury. Ran well when third in the Supreme in March and he's a very exciting chasing prospect.

Form: U11/113-

8/1

Had a good first season over timber winning novices at Lingfield and Kempton at up to 21f. Stepped up on his reappearance when third at Cheltenham last month but looks up against it on chase debut.

Form: 1731-43

Forecasts

Chantry House (4/9), Pic D'Orhy (3/1), Up The Straight (8/1)

A mouth-watering clash on paper between CHANTRY HOUSE and Pic d'Orhy, with preference for Nicky Henderson's charge on his chasing bow after having created a big impression in 3 starts over timber last term. Pic d'Orhy is in great hands and should improve having disappointed on what was effectively his chasing debut at Market Rasen last month.
