ERIC THE THIRD is well handicapped on his recent chase form and he is taken to record a victory in this opening handicap hurdle. The selection has been running well of late and he can see off top weight and handicap debutant Triangle Rock while third place can go the way of longstanding maiden Son Of Feyan who ran well last time.
