Verdict
BABY RUN won the Foxhunter Chase at last year's Cheltenham Festival before unseating his rider at Aintree last April. Nigel Twiston-Davies can get them ready and his eleven-year-old can take this on his seasonal return. Breaking Silence won a couple of these events before coming unstuck in better company at Cheltenham and he could figure, along with Moment Of Madness who scored at Kelso last May. Offshore Account won a point-to-point recently and should go well and Viking Rebel will strip fitter for his recent outing between the flags.
