Verdict
Though second in this last year, Envious Editor has a penalty to carry and hasn’t quite matched the form of his win at Taunton in January in subsequent starts. Caryto Des Brosses also placed at this meeting last year but that was over 3m2f and he’s never raced over a trip this short. Takethepunishment is a teenager but has won seven times between the flags and has a victory under Rules to his name. FIER JAGUEN was leading when over-jumping and unseating Bradley Gibbs in the Foxhunters’ at Aintree last month. If that hasn’t affected his confidence, he looks the one to beat in this being lightly raced in hunter chases.
