Geordies Express, Ridgeway and Just Cliquot look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase and the confident vote goes to Geordies Express. The selection has been at the top of his game of late and won well last time out when defeating Primitive Way, he is a dour stayer and will see out the trip and with Nial Saville taking off a handy seven pounds he will be hard to beat. Just Cliquot rates the main danger he has also been in good form of late and won well last time out when defeating Coole Venture but he lacks the experience of the selection over regulation fences and for that reason he is opposed. Ridgeway was a fair second last time out behind Mullensgrove and he is another that should go well but his best efforts are over a shorter trip and for that reason he is opposed. Victoria's Boy is another that should go well he will also like the ground but he to is a doubtful stayer and for the winner we return to Geordies Express.
