Verdict
Natiain, Noggler and Thatlldoya are three against the field in this hunter chase with the confident vote going to Natain. The selection has been in good form of late between the flags has conditions to suit and if he copes with these regulation fences he will be very hard to beat. Noggler rates the main danger on his latest win over Hattie at Easingwold but he is often let down by his jumping over these bigger fences and is oppose for that reason. Thatlldoya was a fair second behind Coomakista last time and is another with place claims but all his best form is on a softer surface. Of the remainder Theonebehind is open to plenty of improvement and should be closely watched in the market but for the winner we return to Natiain.
