Lady Myfanwy gets the confident vote in this hunter chase with Chesnut Annie and Bob Bites Back rating the main dangers. The selection is prolific between the flags goes on any ground, has age on her side and with more improvement likely is hard to oppose. Chesnut Annie rates the main danger as she won well last time when beating Spuddler's Dream and if she copes with these regulation fences she will not be far away. Bob Bites Back is another worthy of respect on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Mvezo when odds on last time and he is taken on with this in mind. Sams Lad has won his last two races in good style but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and he will need to improve for the fitting of a first time tongue tie if he is to score and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Lady Myfanwy.
