A typically tricky hunters' chase but BAREL OF LAUGHS gets the tentative call. He shaped well in a comeback run recently and may well build on that back in this sphere. A lot depends on whether Mon Parrain is ready to go after an absence but the booking of this talented amateur jockey hints he could be. The sole mare in the line-up, Popaway gets on well with her rider and is capable of grabbing a place. 1. Barel Of Laughs 2. Mon Parrain 3. Popaway
