In depth
Verdict
BON CHIC has come up against decent novices in her three races to date over fences. She's been safe enough over the obstacles and faces a simple task here. Rhythm Star may be the one for forecast backers as she's managed a win over hurdles, though was more than 30 lengths behind the selection at Huntingdon. Veauce De Sivola has been placed in seven of his 13 chase starts but has been beaten at a lower level.
