Verdict

CARLTON RYAN has now won three of four starts in hunter chases and beat much higher rated rivals at Fakenham last time. There should be more to come in first-time headgear and he’s just preferred to Pearlysteps. The latter is the highest rated of these but had an off-day behind Wonderful Charm at Haydock recently and has something to find with the selection on bare form. Mister Marker won one of these events at Perth last year with Havana Jack back in third and could also figure.
