SHANTOU FLYER (NAP) was second in the Foxhunter at Cheltenham last season and that race is the target again for the talented 10-year-old, who made a winning return to action in an open at Larkhill – he should have too much class for these. Haymount was pulled up in last year’s Foxhunter but has ability and is also race-fit. Llancillo Lord was in touch when unseating his rider at Ludlow and is a past course winner but Kashmir Peak had an alternative engagement yesterday at Leicester. Full Irish would probably have a squeak on past form but is hard to win with.
