Verdict

The hunter chase season gets under way but all of the riders will be professionals for the time being. The returning Heaney is one of several teenagers but could figure if ready. Ravished easily won a Ladies Open at Kimble in November but HAZEL HILL is 5-6 under Rules with his only defeat coming against subsequent Foxhunter fifth Minella Rocco at Wetherby last year. He’ll be all the better for a recent outing between the flags and is the class act in this. Chase Me has won five points but is 0-14 under Rules so Reikers Island may be the pick of the remainder.
