Verdict
One for die-hard hunter chase lovers and ENVIOUS EDITOR, previously a decent sort over hurdles in Ireland for the Harrington and Elliott teams, is the choice on the back of a solid runner-up effort when only beaten under a couple of lengths at the Cheltenham hunter chase evening. He'd previously landed a couple of points and should go well. Tom Cody is a leading player too after racking up four successive wins between the flags before putting in a respectable effort to come home a fair third in a Hexham hunter chase this month. He was just behind Matts Commission that day so the latter is also shortlisted as there should be little between them once again here.
