Bear's Affair²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-2| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: P Rowley| OR: 128

1/4

In this grade he looks a class act having been a smart hurdler/chaser in the past for Nicky Henderson. Made the best of a good opportunity last time out at Warwick and is presented with a similarly soft one here.

Form: B0/2371-

Abbeyview²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Jack Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Crow| OR: 98

6/1

Winner of a Cartmel maiden Hunter Chase in 2016 and although he looked laboured last time out he did stick on well and may have place claims here.

Form: 21P622-

Done A Runner^t²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Peters⁽⁷⁾| T: D Peters| OR: 94

20/1

Multiple point-to-point winner who hasn't been seen under Rules since finishing fifth to Abbeyview at Cartmel last year. Looks as though a stiffer test will suit him and he'll get that here over 3m at Towcester.

Form: 154232-

Hunters Lodge^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Gareth Henderson⁽⁷⁾| T: A Hill| OR: 115

20/1

A winner in point-to-points he still has problems with consistency and looks a very hard ride.

Form: 03845P-

The Rodeo Clown¹⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr S Burton⁽⁷⁾| T: G E Burton| OR: 84

66/1

Twelve wins in point-to-points but had never looked as good under Rules and races very lazily at times.

Form: 4P/126-P

U Me And Them^v¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss K Lyons⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Hannah Taylor

50/1

Pulled-up on both his starts in Hunter Chases and not the best of jumpers and looks to have an uphill task here.

Form: PPPUF-P

Dabinett Moon¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Mrs C Hardwick⁽³⁾| T: Mrs F J Marriott| OR: 106

15/2

Winner of 50% of his point-to-points (10/20) and although she managed to finish second in a Hunter Chase last time out she was beaten 51L.

Form: 34221-2

BEAR’S AFFAIR looks the class act here and could well make this a very one-sided affair after his recent easy success at Warwick. Plenty of this are multiple winners in point-to-points but have struggled when races under rules with the possible exception of Abbeyview. Done A Runner looks as though he’ll enjoy this stiffer test and his recent form on point-to-points is a little bit better than the others that have raced in that sphere.
