In depth

Verdict

Minouchka was an impressive winner at Friars Hough, justifying favourtism and putting in a performance that makes him the one very much to beat. Solway Flo is another recent winner, a win that was achieved in fine style at Alnwick. Oakland Luis is vulnerable back over this 2m 5f as he appeared to get outpaced last time at Witton Castle. Fifth Column has a decent pilot in Will Biddick on board but was disappointing on his most recent outing between the flags. Minouchka looks a cut above the rest in this hunter chase and is our selection.
