Queen's Cup Open Hunters' Chase

Off time: 15:55 | Winning time: 6m 24.27s

Law Of Gold²²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-6| J: Mr D Peters⁽³⁾| T: D Kemp| OR: 134| D

11/10

Useful sort who claimed his fourth hunter success when readily landing a match at Ascot last time. Still appears to be getting better, so fancied to go in again.

Form: P1-11P1

Not That Fuisse¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-6| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 130| CD

5/4

Useful chaser who arrives on a hat-trick having landed hunters over C&D and at Warwick the last twice. Obvious claims.

Form: 4-P3B11

Chapelier^p1¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Bdr Jody Sole⁽³⁾| T: J Whyte| OR: 88| D

28/1

Is of little account these days and was well held behind Not That Fuisse over C&D a month ago. Hard to fancy despite first-time cheekpieces.

Form: P3-4545

Midnight Cowboy^p⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr R Stearn⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Owen| OR: 112| D

13/2

One-time useful chaser who has been in good order between the flags since last seen under Rules. One to consider back in hunters.

Form: 2U2121

Mighty Altogether⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: William Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: D L Williams

66/1

Maiden pointer who was only fourth at Stratford on hunter debut 8 days ago. Likely to be outclassed.

Form: 562334

Non-Runners

Hurricane Vic⁴⁴

Weight: 12-2| Age: 12

T: S J Robinson J: Tom Broughton

Forecasts

Law Of Gold (11/10), Not That Fuisse (5/4), Midnight Cowboy (13/2), Chapelier (28/1), Hurricane Vic (33/1), Mighty Altogether (66/1)

LAW OF GOLD was right back on track at Ascot last time and might well have even more to offer, so he's marginally preferred to Not That Fuisse, who arrives on a hat-trick. Midnight Cowboy isn't without hope, but the remainder are hard to make a case for.
