Verdict
Soeur Fontenail, Hi Fi and Barton Hill are the three to concentrate on here and we will take a chance on the first named. Nigel Hawke's mare showed improved form to chase home Sharmy at Folkestone last month and still looks on a decent mark. The extra couple of furlongs here should prove beneficial and he looks the one to beat. Hi Fi came up against some decent novices at Huntingdon last time and as this is only his third chase he should be capable of further improvement. Barton Hill finished ahead of Hi Fi over course and distance recently and at today's weights there should be very little between them. Young Collier could prove best of then remainder, but Soeur Fontenail is going the right way and should be good enough to land this modest event.
