Verdict
BEAR'S AFFAIR, formerly a smart handicapper with Nicky Henderson, wasn't beaten far in the championship hunter-chase at Aintree before a facile victory at Warwick and looks too good for these. Abbeyview does well between the flags and has won one of these but is likely to need the selection to have a mishap while the prolific winning point-to-pointer Dabinett Moon was beaten a distance when runner-up at Cheltenham earlier this month.
