Recent worthwhile form is thin on the ground in this hunter chase but Richmond was third over a shorter trip at Hereford at the start of the month and Dolatulo only found a subsequent winner too good when second at Kelso last month. But the latter finished behind BENVOLIO when fancied at Warwick subsequently and there is no reason why Charles Levinson’s 10-year-old can’t confirm that form on similar terms today. One Term was held in high regard at one time but has had a long time off and was always better on a quicker surface than he’ll encounter today.
