Verdict

Chesnut Annie may have not put a hoof wrong in points recently but we instead like the form under rules of MAN FROM HIGHWORTH who is preferred while INARO should also be involved. The pick has been running well in Novice and handicap chases this season winning once and finishing in the frame a further two times in his last three starts. His form behind Baby Run when second after a break back in February could have been boosted by the time they set off here and he does seem to have good claims on this contest. Chesnut Annie is rarely beaten between the flags having scored in 15 of her last 16 starts in that sphere. Her last starts under rules ended in a good placing at Cheltenham a year ago and in this mood she should be respected. Inaro looked like he needed the run when fourth of six runners on his last effort but a return to the form that saw him land one of these at Towcester three starts ago would have him in the picture. Perouse and Cannon Bridge can also have cases made for them based on recent point to point form but it is Man From Highworth's runs under rules that gets him the verdict.
