ON THE FRINGE disappointed when pulling up at Aintree last time out but he can get back to winning ways by registering a sixth success in this high class hunter chase. The selection took this event by 2L in 2016 and can get the better of Balnaslow who has finished in front of him the last twice including at Aintree last time out while Monsieur Gibraltar, twice a winner of hunter chases over shorter this season can finish third.
