4/6
Lightly-raced winner in chases. Very good second of 11 in hunter chase at this course (21f, heavy, 10/1) 81 days ago and has run well in a point since. Shouldn't have much trouble landing this.

14/1
Modest chaser. Eleven runs since last win in 2018. Blinkered for 1st time, below form eighth of 15 in handicap chase at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 12/1). Off 9 months. Others preferred.

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/2, 15¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Ask D'man in hunter chase at Clonmel (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 70 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Likely to improve.

Forecasts

Er Dancer (4/6), Ask D'Man (11/4), I Often Wonder (11/2), Alpha Male (14/1), Lawlor's Choice (50/1)

Verdict

ER DANCER is a cut above his rivals and arrives in good order, so he's a straightforward selection in an uncompetitive hunter. If he underperforms, Ask D'Man is the likeliest to capitalise.
