      Verdict

      In a Hunters' Chase that won't take much winning LADY BRIG sets the standard on her pointing form so has the vote over Benbeoach and Cherryland. The pick has had just the one start under rules and that was a solid run when fifth in a big field over course and distance. Since then she has been in good form between the flags and comes here off the back of a win and two subsequent second places. Benbeoch has failed to complete on his last four starts in national hunt contests but if you look back to March 2009 he did go very close to getting up. He showed a spark of form in the pointing arena last time and he has to be respected. Cherryland is the top rated but is hard to recommend after moderate starts so far while What A Cliche could figure after some better efforts recently. Most of these are out of form, which makes Lady Brig an easy selection to make.
