12/1
Successful six times in 2021, five of which over fences and added another couple more over hurdles last spring. Has an absence to overcome but he's an uncomplicated front runner.

Ungenuine type who ended time for Philip Hobbs out of sorts last summer. Easy winner both starts in points this winter suggests he's back in good order.

Fairly useful chase winner (at 23f) for Olly Murphy last season and perfect start for new yard when scoring between the flags in November. Rates one of the likelier types.

5/4
Useful chaser who completed his hat-trick in 5-runner hunter chase at Fakenham in April. Smooth winner under this rider at Wetherby 17 days ago and he has to command serious respect.

Useful hurdler who landed back-to-back hunters last spring. Possibly failed to stay over 27.5f at Stratford in May but off since and might just need this.

Off mark over fences at first attempt at Doncaster in March but he fell on final start for Dan Skelton in June. Warmed up for this with a runner-up effort between the flags.

6/1
Former Bet365 Gold Cup winner but jumped none too fluently and couldn't get into any rhythm on hunter debut 3 weeks ago. Dominating this field should be easier but he still comes with risks attached.

Forecasts

Not That Fuisse (5/4), I K Brunel (3/1), Step Back (6/1), Solomon Grey (8/1), From The Heart (11/1), Diligent (12/1), Lakota Warrior (12/1), Golden Poet (100/1)

Verdict

An open look to this hunter with NOT THAT FUISSE the most persuasive option having made it 4 from 7 in this sphere 17 days ago. An on-song Step Back would be a big threat, but with doubts surrounding him at present, I K Brunel is offered as the chief threat.

  1. Not That Fuisse5/4
  2. I K Brunel3/1
  3. Step Back6/1
