4/1
Veteran who looked better than ever when forging away to score by a wide margin at Cheltenham 28 days ago and should be thereabouts with a performance of similar merit.

6/4
In fine form for new yard, winning four points before landing both starts in hunters, again having something to spare at Cheltenham last time. Leading claims.

11/4
Multiple point winner who justified short odds when landing a 15-runner hunter at Leicester on Rules debut 99 days ago. Another impressive success between the flags subsequently, so one to consider.

4/1
First run since leaving Miss Elizabeth Doyle when 11/8, won 10-runner hunter chase at Down Royal last time and, with few miles on the clock, there's every reason to expect further progress.

Multiple point winner who left his form in novice hurdles well behind when landing a 4-runner hunter at Exeter but was pulled up at Cheltenham next time. Others preferred.

Verdict

FUMET D'OUDAIRIES seemed to have every angle covered from a fair way out when going in at Cheltenham last time and he's fancied to extend his winning sequence and cement his position as the pick of the novices in hunters this season. Vaucelet is a big danger having made a winning debut in this sphere at Down Royal and the prolific Premier Magic can't be ruled out.
