Trainer Jim Dreaper may hold the key to this race and his VENITIEN DE MAI is taken to follow up last months point-to-point success in this competitive hunter chase. The selection's best efforts have come on the forecast heavy ground and he can get the better of the useful Quiet Account who is likely to have improved for his first outing in seven months in a point-to-point at the start of the month. Of the remainder the selections stablemate Sizing Coal can get the better of Gilgamboa in the battle for third.
