Verdict
Mouseski has the form to beat Beau Supreme, Go For Bust, Moscow Court and Cash In Hand. Mouseski has been a grand horse for various trainers over the years, including Jane Southcombe, Ron Hodges and Paul Nicholls, and indeed has already won a hunter chase round here for Richard Barber. Rachel Green managed to get a tune out of the veteran at Wincanton recently, the pair coming through to lead at the last before beating Royal Hector narrowly, and a follow-up is very much on the cards. Beau Supreme was rated 123 at best over fences, and makes his hunter-chase debut for Leslie Jefford. He can go well along with Go For Bust who represents the powerful combination of Sheila Crow and Richard Burton. Moscow Court meanwhile has the able assistance of Sam Waley-Cohen, while ex-Irish Cash In Hand is still a maiden. All in all, this 20-furlong trip is ideal for Mouseski, and with his pilot good value for her 5lb claim, he is the one to beat.
