This looks one of the better hunter chases to be run so far this season. Last year’s winner Penmore Mill is back for more, though has more on his plate than 12 months ago. Galway Jack beat a useful sort at Wetherby earlier this month and Rebel Rebellion is sure to have benefited from his second at Wincanton, hits first run in almost two years. TOBY LERONE (NAP) has a good strike rate over fences and was having his first run in a hunter chase when staying on strongly under today’s rider to score at Hereford with Grandioso well behind - a repeat performance would make him tough to beat. Out Now is preferred to Ffos Las second Night Alliance of the remainder.
