A wide open hunter chase here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Phoenix Phlyer, Route One, and Templebreedy and the tentative vote goes to Phoenix Phlyer. The selection won well in this grade a couple of runs ago when defeating Guignol De Cochet and was traveling well when unseating his rider last time out if his jumping holds up he will be hard to beat. Route One rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Jazz Night goes on any ground and is a danger to all. Templebreedy is another in form but he has limited experience over regulation fences so is opposed for that reason. Cimarrone Cove has one of the most experienced riders in the line up on board and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Phoenix Phlyer in the hop that his jockey maintains the partnership.
