        Verdict

        Coole Glen, My Best Buddy and Heavenly King are three against the field in this hunter chase and the confident vote is given to My Best Buddy. The selection has improved with each run and won well last time out when beating Nautical Lad and if he puts in a fluent round of fencing over these regulation fences he will be hard to beat. Coole Glen rates the main danger on his latest third behind Persian Hero but his best form is on a softer surface and for that reason he is opposed. Heavenly King was a fair fourth behind Little Ed last time and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to My Best Buddy who gets the confident vote.
