Not a particularly strong Hunter Chase and Bambi Du Noyer will have to settle far better than he did at Carlisle to reverse the form with Jimmy The Jetplane who will be very dangerous if allowed to gain a soft lead again. With Vivaldi Collonges looking to have lost his way a chance is taken here with the luckless BILLY MERRIOTT who showed plenty of ability under Rules. When last seen he was a 30L winner in a point-to-point that was a year ago but if he’s fit and ready here he could be an interesting proposition and a market watch is advised. Most of the others look set to find this too tough although Alfstar might be able to show a little more on his second run back from wind surgery.
