Verdict

This race the Foxhunters Champion Hunters' Chase is the highlight of this very good card and BABY RUN for Nigel Twiston-Davies looks to have terms marginally in his favour but many of these hold big claims including Juveigneur and Agus A Vic. If this was a handicap the pick would be racing off top weight but as it is he racings off level terms despite being rated seven pounds better than his nearest rival. Further to that he has been in good form beating the re-opposing Agus A Vic in one of these last time and although he has never one over this far he has shaped has if he'll stay. Juveigneur has plenty of form to overturn on the selection based on there meeting last time and during the Cheltenham Festival but based on his handicap Chase form he has the ability to be closer. Agus A Vic has that form to overturn on the selection and while he could if at his very best he would like some rain to soften things up. Take The Stand ran well to narrowly miss out in Cheltenham¿s version of this race last time and should go well again while Amcelli is closely matched with the pick and could go close again. This is a really good race where Baby Run seems to have most in his favour.
