After winning at Leicester, CHAMERON was never travelling in the Foxhunter at Cheltenham and was tailed off when pulled up. However, there will be less pressure on his jumping in this and he should get back on track. Wick Green, a five-times winner between the flags, is having a first run over regulation fences and should be the one for forecast-backers if he completes.
