3/1
Two from 3 in hunter events during 2020. Successful in points prior to a good second at Haydock (22f) in February and whilst below par in Foxhunters at Cheltenham, this is much more suitable.

5/4
Low-mileage 9-y-o who, having been given a short break, justified support to resume winning ways in a Cheltenham hunter (20.6f) in April, Longer trip is within reach and he's a player.

150/1
Modest chaser who has won a few times in points. Unseated when in midfield in a Ludlow hunter in March and well held fifth between the flags earlier this month. Others make greater appeal.

13/8
Prolific over hurdles in 2019/20 before winning on point debut. Pulled up in that sphere last time (behind Marcle Ridge) but no surprise to see a good showing back under Rules for Philip Hobbs.

22/1
Fairly useful hurdler for Tim Vaughan. Successful in points and good efforts on 2 of 3 starts in hunter chase events this spring. However, this no easy task on these terms.

Forecasts

Marcle Ridge (5/4), Jatiluwih (13/8), Wishing And Hoping (3/1), Master Dancer (22/1), Drumhart (150/1)

Verdict

A solid hunter chase despite the small field and it may pay to side with JATILUWIH. A useful, prolific hurdles winner back in 2019/20, he tasted success at the first attempt in points and is best not judged too harshly on his disappointment behind Marcle Ridge in December. He can bounce back switched to hunters and see off his old rival, with Wishing And Hoping next best.

  1. JATILUWIH (FR)
  2. MARCLE RIDGE (IRE)
  3. WISHING AND HOPING (IRE)
