Prolific in points since last seen under Rules for Dan Skelton and made a successful hunter debut in 5-runner event at Ludlow (2½m, good to soft) last month. Rates a useful prospect and this looks an excellent opportunity to follow up.

Didn't need to improve to win a weak 4-runner hunter chase at Fakenham (3m, good) 18 days ago. value for extra having edged ahead on line under mainly hands-and-heels riding. Faces a stiff task here, however.

Forecasts

Great Valley (4/7), Franigane (10/3), On Lovers Walk (4/1)

Verdict

GREAT VALLEY looked a useful prospect in opening his hunter account at the first time of asking at Ludlow last month and is a straightforward choice to follow up. Franigane is preferred to On Lovers Walk for forecast purposes.
