      Verdict

      Red Brook Lad, Galway and Chasing The Bride look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase and the vote is given to Red Brook Lad. The selection was a fair fourth behind Lets Fly last time out. This longer trip looks in his favour and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Galway won well last time but his best form is over shorter trip and for that reason he is opposed. Chasing The Bride is another last time out winner with place claims but she has been beaten by the selection before and has a little to find. Of the remainder Mighty Montefalco was a place in front of the selection last time but is another that is better over a shorter trip. This is a very trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Red Brook Lad.
