A small field goes to post for this hunter chase and the likely short priced favourite will be Master Wood. However although he was in goof form in the early part of the season and he goes on any ground, he had a bad fall at Aintree and he jumped with no fluency last time out so it may be worth taking a chance on. Parade Racer who should be able to dominate this small field and if that is the case he will be hard to beat. Mister Muddypaws has also been in fair form of late and the more rain the better for him. Icelandic Spring has looked very one paced and although he should get round it will only be in his own time and he is readily opposed.
