Verdict

Most of these have been in good form between the flags. Alex Edwards has steered Battle Dust to his two recent victories and his experience could count here while Chris Pimlott's Duhallow Tornado has won three on the bounce, including a very impressive victory at Brocklesby last month. Greensalt gained his fifth victory in nine starts between the flags at Dunscombe Park and will get a good ride from William Easterby while the ex-Irish Just Cause has done well since moving to James Owen. FOXCUB won five times over hurdles before a spell between the flags and was very impressive on his hunter chase debut at Fakenham last month, drawing right away from his rivals under Emma Yardley. A repeat performance should be good enough for this.
