Verdict

UNIONISTE was well beaten in the Foxhunters at Cheltenham recently but landed a double before that including a victory over course and distance. He can return to winning ways given Carraig Mor has something to prove back over regulation fences. A decent chaser back in 2015, the latter fell on his only start under Rules since and arrives on the back of a recent point-to-point success. The remainder look up against it with Distracted perhaps best of them.
