Gudasmum, gets the confident vote to win this hunter chase with Jupiter's Fancy and Temple Glen rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Pertogue in a point with plenty in hand. Granted this looks tougher but he again has conditions to suit and will be hard to beat. Jupiter's Fancy rates the main danger on his best form and although disappointing last time out it would be no surprise if he bounced back to form on this faster surface. Temple Glen won well last time out when beating Good Prospect and if he copes with these regulation fences he will not be far away. Of the remainder Civil Gent is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is vulnerable in a finish as he barley sees out the trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to Gudasmum.
