Verdict
Recent Ayr runner-up Calleva Star looks to have every chance of going one better in this weak-looking hunter chase. Outclassed in the Aintree Foxhunters, Fiona Needham's 11-year-old showed a truer reflection of his ability when second to Teelin Bay last time. Point-to-point winner Parade Racer has shown a fair level of form of late in similar company and should be thereabouts again, as should Coole Abbey, who takes a drop in class having contested the Cheltenham and Aintree Foxhunters on his last two outings.
