Green Belt Flyer, Lou du Moulin Mas and Take The Stand look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase with the confident vote going to Green Belt Flyer. The selection won well last time out when beating Cornish Rebel again has conditions to suit and as all his best form is in small fields he looks the one to be on. Lou du Moulin Mas rates the main danger as he also won last time out when beating Honourable Spider. However this looks tougher and as he often finds less than expected off the bridle he looks worth taking on at likely odds. Take The Stand would be a danger to all on his best form of a couple of seasons ago but he has shown little of late. However this slightly faster ground could bring about a little improvement. The other three runners are readily opposed and Green Belt Flyer gets the confident vote.
