Honest Yer Honour,Phoenix Phlyer and Guignol Du Cochet look the three to concentrate on in this competitive hunter chase and the vote is given to Honest Yer Honour. The selection has been in good form between the flags of late is proven over regulation fences and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Phoenix Phlyer rates the main danger as he has also been in fair form between the flags of late but his jumping can be a little sketchy and he may struggle over these regulation fences so he looks worth opposing. Guignol Du Cochet is another with place claims on his best form but he was very disappointing behind Master Club Royal so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Of the remainder Viscount Bankes has the ability to go close but does not always ordained to use it and for the winner we return to Honest Yer Honour.
