Free Gift has been lighting up the point to point scene and can land this hunter chase from King's Hero and Paddy For Paddy. The selection landed a hat-trick for the season when easily beating a decent type at Larkhill last month. He was also very impressive when taking a hunter chase last summer, and he is the obvious form horse here. King's Hero has plenty to find with the selection on a line through Coolefind but should still be capable of reaching the frame. Meanwhile Paddy For Paddy comes here with strong credentials having easily beaten Cimmarrone Cove in a similar race at Huntingdon last May. This appears to be quite a decent event and Free Gift has the talent to take first prize.
