Verdict
Postman has placed a couple of times over fences but DUBAI OUTLAW could be the interesting one running in only his third chase. A winner here in November, he will definitely appreciate being back on a quicker surface and goes well fresh. Getawaytonewbay won here last summer but Pottlereaghexpress was one of only two finishers when landing the odds at Hereford on her 18th career start. Air Hair Lair doesn’t really have a chasing pedigree while No No Maestro is also best watched as he looked far from enthusiastic over hurdles.
