Forecasts

Premier Portrait (8/15), Foxcub (11/4), Pride Of Parish (7/1), West Lake (33/1), Edeiff's Lad (125/1)

A fairly weak hunter chase overall which revolves around PREMIER PORTRAIT and Foxcub both of whom have some decent form to their name under Rules. The former of that duo was suited by a strongly run race last time out and there may well be a doubt that he won’t get the same set-up here but he should be able to overcome that. Foxcub struggled over regulation fences before and his fencing may be called into question again with Pride Of Parish and West Lake likely to be battling it out for the minor placing.
