Verdict
Inch Rise has joined Dan Skelton so any market support should be monitored. Jonjo O’Neill’s chasers have been in good form and Timeforwest won in a higher grade at Warwick in March. She is only 4lb higher, though does have two ways of running. THE WICKET CHICKEN won over hurdles here last summer and was only beaten a neck on her chasing bow at Huntingdon. She’s entitled to improve for the experience and can go one better today. Changeofluck ran an extraordinary race in a valuable hunter chase at Stratford last time but the big drop in distance is a worry. Loch Linnhe and North West Wind probably need to improve off their current marks.
