Verdict

A small field goes to post for this Hunter chase and Earthmover looks to have a straight forward task. The gelding from the Paul Nicholls yard is at the top of his game at the moment and he goes on any ground. He will be hard to beat with his young jockey again taking a handy five pounds off his back. Joint Account rates the main danger but his best form is on much more galloping tracks over a longer trip and this does not look to have the pace to win on this fairly tight circuit. Derring Dove and Master Jock need to improve on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
