        In depth

        Verdict

        Tor Head looks the one to beat in this novices' hunters' chase with Snooty Eskimo, Boulta and Miss Royello the likely dangers. The selection from the Howard Johnson yard made a pleasing debut over regulation fences at Sedgefield, and with improvement likely for that run he will be the one to beat. Snooty Eskimo rates the main danger he won well in the point to point field last time out but this looks more competitive and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Boulta is a standing dish in these events but is not getting any better at the age of ten. Miss Royello is one of the least exposed in the field and has scope for improvement so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Tor head who is impossible to oppose.
