Plenty of these have a bit to prove at present and Maxi Chop's two recent victories have come in modest hunter chases, though he's now joined Paul Nicholls. ACCORDING TO HARRY (NAP) has been marking time over hurdles as he has a chasing pedigree and has already won twice between the flags. He starts off over regulation fences off a decent mark and can take advantage. Deadly Move is another likely to make a chaser and he's worth monitoring for any market support while the mare Quiet Candid won twice over hurdles so can't be ignored.
