Verdict

Two Paul Nicholls horses (one ex) look to be the principals in this with MR MIX despite his Aintree Foxhunters mishap the one that appeals most having chased home subsequent Cheltenham Foxhunters winner Hazel Hill at Warwick on his hunter chase debut. Unioniste who is still with the Nicholls barn was only narrowly beaten in this sphere when last seen by one (Optimised) who ran a fair race at Cheltenham subsequently at their hunter chase evening; he looks the main danger. Play The Ace is sure to have come on from his Perth run which looked much needed while the other two protagonists face a stiff task in this small field.
  1. Mr Mix
  2. Unioniste
  3. Play The Ace
