Verdict
Former Nicky Henderson inmate Bivouac runs in his first hunter chase but has been a disappointment between the flags and is probably flattered by his handicap mark. MON PARRAIN is weighted to reverse running with last year’s fifth Poole Master here in March. He was second under Page Fuller in a ladies open at Chaddesley Corbett last month and that should have put him spot-on for this. Grandturgeon has won 10 of his 18 starts between the flags and receives a handy 4lb from the selection but is making his debut under Rules at the age of 11 while War Path was tailed off when pulled up in this last year. Glint Of Steel has a lengthy absence to overcome.
