In depth
Verdict
Sikander A Azam, Ashgan and Placid Man are three against the field in an open hunter chase and the vote goes to Sikander A Azam. The selection was a good second behind Forest Gunner over the national fences last time but prior to that he had won well over regulation fences he has conditions to suit and need only reproduce his most recent efforts to score. Ashgan rates the main danger he has been in fair form of late between the flags but his last for over regulation fences was far from inspiring and for that reason he is opposed. Placid Man is another that has been in good form in points and he won his last hunter chase by a distance when defeating Nashville Star but this looks more competitive sand for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Irbee has a chance on his best form but he is becoming hard to win with and for the winner we return to Sikander A Azam
