In depth

Verdict

Brown Chieftain is the likeliest winner on recent form and should give a good account of himself. He handled regulation fences in Ireland and has continued to progress in Point to points for his current connections. Bomba Charger should also go well after shaping up nicely of late, but Hobbcyr should not be underestimated, despite the p's against his name this season.
