Has won both starts in hunters and runner-up in a point when last seen almost a year ago. Needs to improve to trouble Secret Investor, though.

Didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner hunter chase at Bangor last week and should have little trouble following up.

5/2
Useful hurdler in France (not quite as good over fences). Shaped with some encouragement on hunter debut at Hereford 18 days ago and looks the main danger to Secret Investor.

Fair chaser. 9/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Sue Smith when eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good). Off 8 months and others make more appeal.

10/1
Fairly useful chaser who was below par last season but made frame on all starts in points and has joined a different stable now. Needs to improve.

Forecasts

Secret Investor (8/13), Gaboriot (5/2), Sir Jack Yeats (10/1), Rio Des Echanault (22/1), Oscar Wilde (28/1)

Verdict

SECRET INVESTOR scored comfortably a week ago and should follow up at the likely expense of Gaboriot. Rio des Echanault is unbeaten in this discipline and could do better.
