In depth
Verdict
Teddy Boy, Horizon Hill and Dante's Promise look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase and the narrow vote is given to Teddy Bear. The selection won a point in good style last time out when beating Eskimo Gold and if he can reproduce that effort over these regulation fences here he will be hard to beat. Horizon Hill rates the main danger as he has also been in good form between the flags of late notably when second behind Stepasideboy last time out. Dante's Promise also won well last time when beating All EyezOn Me and is another with place claims but he is prone to there odd error and these stiffer fences may catch him out. Of the remainder O'ech has a experienced jockey booked for this type of event and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Teddy Bear.
