Verdict

This looks a competitive hunter chase, with three course winners on show. Corston Joker, formerly a useful chaser, has been in good form between the flags and will have his followers with Andrew Sansom on board, but preference is for his stablemate Spring Gale. Second in this event last year behind Noyan, he should find tonight's company more to his liking.
