In depth

Verdict

David Pipe's Hours is likely to be a popular choice for this. Impressive on his rules debut at Wincanton, the son of Teenoso was strongly fancied for the Christie's Foxhunter Chase Chase at the Festival meeting here in March before being pulled up after making mistakes. Granted a clear round the seven-year-old should regain the winning thread. The main dangers include Fair Wind, who finished sixth in the Foxhunters and Dominic Harvey's Taunton winner Mr Magnetic but if the favourite is back to his best he should take all the beating.
