Most of these are returning from a lay-off. TEAFORTHREE is a smart chaser at his best and is favoured at the weights on his return to action. Calgary Bay was also useful on his day though hasn't raced since March 2013 while Grade 3 winning chaser Pacha Du Polder also returns from a lengthy absence. Stablemates Hazy Tom and Hector's Choice are interesting as they debut for returning trainer David Loder while Neverownup, Triptico, Titchwood and Act Of Kalanisi are others to note in a competitive hunter chase.
