Landed the odds on hunter debut/first start for new yard at Sedgefield (19.3f, good to soft) last month, but he'll have to settle for minor honours here if Shantou Flyer is on-song.

Useful staying chaser at his peak and back to form when landing a 3-runner Wincanton hunter last month. However, struggled at Cheltenham since and likely to come up short here, too.

4/9
Useful chaser who was a fine third in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Unseated at the final fence with matters under control in a Wincanton hunter next time and compensation awaits.

Winner of a Stratford novices' hunter in May 2019. Enhanced good strike rate between the flags last month, so wellbeing is not in doubt, and he should pick up some place money here.

Forecasts

Shantou Flyer (4/9), Law Of Gold (9/4), Dundrum Wood (12/1), Keltus (33/1), Tusa Eire (150/1)

Verdict

It's hard to look beyond SHANTOU FLYER, who is head and shoulders above these rivals. He was firmly in command when David Maxwell fell off at the last at Wincanton (a race eventually won by the re-opposing Keltus) last month and can gain some compensation. Law of Gold is preferred to Dundrum Wood for forecast purposes.

  1. SHANTOU FLYER (IRE)
  2. LAW OF GOLD (IRE)
  3. DUNDRUM WOOD (IRE)
