Dutch Canyon’s win at Hexham suggests he’s improved for a spell hunting. SCOTTSHILL (NAP) is unexposed over fences and won a better race than this at Warwick. He has been raised 9lb but is probably the one to beat as Dee Star only won a maiden hunter chase here last month and steps up in trip while Zara Hope has switched stables since her third at Stratford. Pena Dorada is a dual course winner but doesn’t look the force of old but John Daniell is enjoying an Indian summer. Havana Jack may be best of the rest with Brian Hughes doing the steering.
