Verdict

There may only be four runners in this finale but it looks a decent hunter chase nevertheless. ICE TEA won at Doncaster in February before finishing a good second at Sandown. He fell in the Aintree Foxhunters' on his latest start under Rules but can be forgiven that and has since enjoyed a walk over between the flags. He is taken to give the weight away to his rivals the best of which may be Fourty Acers, who has won a couple of point-to-points very easily recently. Shouldhavehadthat was second in a hunter chase at Aintree last time and is preferred to Paddy's Tern of the other pair.
