In depth

Verdict

Only seven runners go to post for this hunter chase. Go Nomadic and Hazle Reilly would have a chance on there best form, but they appear to have it all to do with Torduff Express in nthe field. The gelding from the Paul Nicholls yard will find this a lot easier than when when contesting the national on his last run. He has conditions in his favour and is hard to oppose. Go Nomadic rates the main danger but his best form is with more cut in the ground. Hazle Reilly could also go well but she needs to better her best to defeat Torduff Express. The remainder need to improve on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
