Verdict

Will Biddick is one of the more experienced riders in this and he partners easy Molllington winner Fly West, though this has generally been a race for younger hunter chasers in recent years. Pride Of Parish was a lucky winner at Fakenham and that victory has earned him a penalty. CHOSEN LUCKY won all six of his races between the flags last season and looks a nice prospect given he’s only a six-year-old. He’s a full brother to winning chaser Lucky Landing so should handle the switch to regulation fences. Master Tradesman could also be worth a second look with Sean Houlihan doing the steering.
