The Butterwick Kid, Swiftway and Lord O'All Seasons look the three to concentrate on in this Hunter Chase and the confident vote is given to The Butterwick Kid. The selection is game and consistent and will love this stiff track. The soft ground is also in his favour and with these factors in mind he is hard to oppose. Swiftway rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing for no apparent reason last time so can't be put forward with any confidence. Lord O'All Seasons is another worthy of respect as he has been in good form between the flags of late and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Solway Sunset is another that has shown form in points and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to the consistent The Butterwick Kid.
