Plenty of former talented handicappers line up for this popular Open Hunter's Chase, and obviously these are the horses which it will pay to focus upon. Dolatulo was a bitter disappointment last time at Warwick, and his earlier showing at Kelso doesn't look quite as strong as it did back in January with Black Thunder turned over at odds of 1/8 at Kelso on Thursday. Both Lackamon and Night Alliance appear to be in decline as they fast approach their teenage years, whilst the lightly raced and one time progressive One Term arrives from a long absence, also having not won over further than 2m4f. Therefore, the vote goes to BENVOLIO, who won for Paul Nicholls in April 2016, and was entitled to have needed his return to the track at Warwick last month. 1. Benvolio 2. Dolatulo 3. One Term
