A good quality hunter chase - much stronger than last year's renewal won by Railway Dillon - and all eyes will be on Foxhunters' hopeful WONDERFUL CHARM. Paul Nicholls' charge is a dual Grade 2 winner and, though he ended last season out of sorts, he is no back-number at the age of nine and should prove a class apart here. The prolific Cave Hunter looked better than ever beating Top Cat Henry in a recent point-to-point and that pair can give the selection most to think about with Carlton Ryan also an each-way option.
1. Wonderful Charm
2. Cave Hunter
3. Carlton Ryan
