Back Bar²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mrs Izzie Hill⁽⁵⁾| T: A Hill| OR: 112

6/5

One-time fair hurdler (for Gordon Elliott) who is better known for his pointing exploits. Won a novice hunter last season and merits respect returning to Rules.

Form: 21P3-83

Dalahast²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Leyshon| OR: 103

11/1

Multiple chase winner in France but obviously not the force of old and only a remote fifth in a hunter at Hereford last time. Others preferred.

Form: 5567-P5

Tout Est Permis^p¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 130

4/1

Smart Irish chaser in his prime for Noel Meade. Nothing like so good lately and has something to prove after a couple of non-completions (reportedly lost action start at Sandown 10 days ago). Should find this easier at least.

Form: 3P4-0PP

Trappist Monk²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Daniel Kyne⁽⁷⁾| T: R Varnham| OR: 107

2/1

Lost his way under Rules but has enjoyed success in points more recently and this is a weak hunter.

Form: 21-6191

Forecasts

Back Bar (6/5), Trappist Monk (2/1), Tout Est Permis (4/1), Dalahast (11/1)

BACK BAR is fit from points and looks the solid option for all that Tout Est Permis could outclass these if back on his game. Trappist Monk is also respected.
