A disappointing turnout for this well-established hunter chase. Catch Tammy is likely to struggle but Sam Waley-Cohen rode Paint The Clouds to victory two years ago and will fancy his chances on board his father's Warne. A former winner of the Fox Hunters' Chase at Aintree, he got back on track at Dingley last month. Kashline won between the flags at Sandon last month but prolific pointer DESERTMORE VIEW, the winner of five of his eight starts between the flags and a novice hunter chase at Chepstow, may be capable of making all and giving weight to this three rivals under a talented amateur.
