A large field goes to post for this hunter chase and the principals look to be Jibaru, Exit To Wave and Mr Woodland and the confident cote is given to Exit To Wave. The selection was a high class sort at his best and was a fair third when last seen behind Tremalt. This looks easier and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Jibaru rates the main danger now that he returns to a more suitable grade but even his best form leaves him with a little to find. Mr Woodland is another worthy of respect as he won well last time out when beating Bengal Bullet but that was over a shorter trip and again he may have his stamina stretched. Of the remainder Let's Fly has been in good form between the flags but he needs to improve again to win this and for the winner we return to Exit To Wave.
