Verdict

One of the best hunter chases so far this season can go to VIRAK, who performed well in handicaps for his top stable and promises to be a potent force in this sphere judged on his recent win at Ludlow. He may be better suited to underfoot conditions than Argocat, who is clearly in good heart following a recent point-to-point success but might prefer a sounder surface. Grandturgeon should not be dismissed lightly and Shotavodka is not out of it, but Fourovakind and Lord Heathfield look held.
  1. Virak
  2. Argocat
  3. Grandturgeon
